(then push it wherever you want on the net). 2) You could also have a SMB server running on your linux box and have the winbox save that file on a samba share, so you can access it very easily from linux. 3) another hint would be to have the winbox save the file on the linbox through a samba share and use "root postexec = /usr/local/bin/put_this_file_on_the_www.sh" so that when the winbox unmounts the share after writing the new .inf file on the samba share, a script is executed that puts it on the web. I recommend you to have a look at the "using samba" book you can now find shipped with samba-2.0.7 regards, -- Sylvestre Taburet - Services Department ................ : MandrakeSoft, 43 rue d'Aboukir, 75002 Paris - FRANCE : : +33 (1) 40 41 17 63 - http://www.linux-mandrake.com :
