Hello, I would like to offer an appology for the off topic response: Just a side note about a free NFS client for Windows: "Microsoft's Windows Services for UNIX Now Available Free of Charge" http://www.osnews.com/story.php?news_id=5675 Microsoft SFU is made by Interix.com, which in turn is based on OpenBSD. If I am not mistaken, they do have an NFS client. http://www.asia.microsoft.com/technet/itsolutions/interop/sfu/nfsauth.mspx "Client for NFS – The Windows NFS client component of SFUv3. Client for NFS allows the machine on which it is installed to access and use NFS resources anywhere on the network" Pete __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New and Improved Yahoo!
