Best solution for a network share?
This is in a CentOS 6 environment, our developer needs to be able to specify a relative path to a shared folder so that four machines can all point to the same shared directory, so I need to know the easiest way to do this in a native Linux environment.

I've already created the directory on the machine that will host the share, now I just need to know the best way to do that since there is no need to share with Windows, etc. (I come from a windows background Smilie so I've never done this in a Linux/*nix environment Smilie)

Assuming you are talking about NFS rather than CIFS, you mount the exported NFS share in some location that you as the system administrator decide and inform the developer where that mount point is.
