Our fi lesharing setup. (a) Machines and network
connections. We use a multiprotocol environment on
our servers and fi le store, which is shared to Windows
devices via Common Internet File System (CIFS) [35], to
Mac OS X devices via Secure Shell File System (SSHFS)
[36] via various routes. Macs are provided with a client
program, MacFUSE [37], which allows connection to an
intermediary Linux computer via SSHFS. The
intermediary Linux machine has the fi le store directly
mounted through Network File System (NFS) [38] and
passes a connection to the client. In the Windows
environment we provide CIFS confi gured on the storage
device directly allowing the Windows machines to
mount it. Authentication for Windows and Mac is done
with the Active Directory service and via the Network
Information Service for Linux. This confi guration has
been the most stable in our tests, and allows the user
to be fl exible about which machine they work with.
Early on we attempted to deploy WinFUSE [37] in the
Windows environment but found the drivers to be very
