i.e. It checks my account credentials there, gives me / (root) access, and just lets me get on with my day. (Access as in can type '//{machine}/{dir}' - let permissions there determine whether I can write anything or not.)<br>

I get that Samba and NFS are out there, but IIRC each requires a separate list of accounts / passwords / permissions. It is ludicrous to scp things everywhere - no point encrypting over my local network, which I entirely control. [rcp is frowned upon due to open-text passwords, and I can accept that, but it seems it is encrypt everything (scp) or nothing (rcp) - just encrypt the password only and get on with it.]<br>
<br>
None of this mount this or that, just let me get on with it. How?<br>

- granted, I'm taking advantage of a 'feature' of windows, if you have the same userid / password on two non-domain machines, there is no prompt for authentication. I'm OK if on Linux I have to do the same, and make sure the uid's are the same.<br>
<br>
- don't really want to go through the rigamarole of PAM, just use the local passwd files, already - even if I do figure out how to mutually replicate PAM between two machines. (Tips welcome.) Even if I had PAM, it's not clear to me what syntax to use (everywhere) for //machine/dir-hierarchy/<u></u>filename<br>
<br>
I get Windows natively understands smb and Linux doesn't (only some things understand smb://) - what does Linux natively understand that uses the local passwd file? (From past threads, some just gave up on trying to use NFS and just use Samba.)<br>
<br>
Suggestions, links?<br>
