How to share home folders
I tried to use samba to share my laptops home folder so I could edit it on my desktop computer. I get an error that mentions its ignoring $HOME/.dmrc when I do this, which appears before I log into my account on my laptop. Everything works after that after I click OK on the message.
Is there a way of getting around this to prevent the message from appearing, but will still allow me to share my home folder.
Thanks,
Ian.

How about using SSH server instead?
This works well in my all *nix network.
Just login at the Places Menu and Connect to Server.
Since you only said you're dealing with /home, I assume this is not a mixed OS network, of course.

Is there any instructions on how I can get this set up?
sudo apt-get install ssh-server in a terminal
Then you can go to places menus and selectconnect to server
select SSH
for Port: put in the IP of the server
for User Name: put in the username that you use on the SERVER
Connect
Choose if you want to remember the password until logout or not. When you close the nautilus window, you will be logged out.

Grrr... moving too fast.
Meant to say install the server package on your server.
There is also a client package you can install on the other machine, but I never bothered... I am very lazy.
