Okay. I am entirely too obsessed by this. I did what I should have done months ago and looked around the AFS site (www.openafs.org) and within 30 seconds find that there are both client and server packages for Windows. So AFS can be used to share files between Unix and Windows machines. So, can somebody expound on any downsides to using AFS? It looks somewhat more complex to set up. On the other hand, you're only setting up one network file system. -rex -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
