I don't have much knowledge of *how* to do this, but the idea of opening access to your computer and your home directory from untrusted machines scares the bejeezus out of me. I work too hard to try to *secure* my computer to even try this. Note that NFS is, by definition, insecure and should never be used outside a firewall. Samba I don't know about, but I've never yet heard of a samba share over the open Internet so I'm guessing it's not a common/recommended thing. >- - You'll need some way to find your (presumably dynamic) IP address >from outside.

David: http://www.dyndns.org A good service, with some excellent ideas, and one I think we should support more. It will solve your problem very neatly and even for free, if you wish. >If you just need access to a few files from elsewhere, consider >copying them up to an external source (like perhaps your webspace at >your ISP, if you have it) and access it that way. Plenty of places that offer you free storage space on the Internet. -- Rodolfo J.
