But if you really want an easy solution, try fuse-sshfs: http://fedoraproject.org/extras/4/i386/repodata/repoview/fuse- sshfs-0-1.2-3.fc4.html It's implemented in user space and is as easy as a login. Your UID's do not need to be the same on other machines, like with NFS. You just need a login, and then you can mount the directory(s). There's no messing around with root controlled files as in NFS/Samba. The implementation is fast, easy, and I think it's more secure than either NFS or Samba.
