[SWLUG] Network setup for Fedora Core 5

[p.g.richardson at phantomjinx.co.uk]

My preferred method is nfs, as it is nice and fast and works nicely
through autofs. Security is however its one draw back.

If you want perpetual connections using ssh, try looking into fuse (a
method for mounting ssh mounts which can be automated).
