how can I make a shared directory between two UNIX servers???

shared directory?:confused:
:smiley: simple... your directory should be own by a certain group of users (/etc/group). Users created must be of any one f the group
for eg if your dir is name "dirABC",under the / (root) dir, then do the following:
chown <uid>:<gid> /dirABC

To set permissions for read/write and access:
chmod 755 /dirABC

Take a look at NFS and SAMBA sharing

have a look at this:Unix for Advanced Users - Manipulating Files - File Ownership and Permissions

Think I got your question wrong..:o
Mounting samba shares from a unix client - SambaWiki

hello incredible,
yes ,you got my question wrong..
I need a procedure to make certain directory accessable through LAN(shared) ..any help??

use nfs to do this if only unix clients are involved. for windows machines you'll probably need samba... the others allready gave some links for you to read. for a fast start have a look at:

/etc/dfs/dfstab
man share
man dfshares
/etc/vfstab
man mount
