I have 2 machines A) suse 10.2 B) suse 10.1, I would like to have an
account on the B machine that uses / shares a home directory with
an account with the same name on the A machine so I can be able
to read my email from either. Both machines are on an internal
network.

What do I need to install to do this ( Samba, Nfs, ? )?

I don't really want to do a remote desktop..

Thanks, Mike

search for NFS. If you do not use a name service like NIS, you will need to
have the same user account with the same UID on both systems.
