[olug] Network drives on a laptop?

[Carl Lundstedt]

Daniel,
I wouldn't mount the drives.  I'd used ssh tunneling software like the 
'network places' on gnome desktops (nautilus network:).  It acts like 
filezilla or other ssh tunneling software in that I can browse the 
files, drag and drop etc, but the filesystem isn't mounted at the system 
level.

Perhaps this isn't what you need or might not work as I expect?  Clearly 
this won't work for home directories or the like.
