not exactly sure what you're asking here. both the samba and nfs routes appear viable, though i have no experience using nfs on windows. samba works just fine for me at work. why do the FSes need to be NTFS? NTFS support is not in the openbsd kernel by default and i believe there are some problems with said support. from http://www.openbsd.org/faq/faq14.html#foreignfs : "Most filesystems are supported in the GENERIC kernel: just have a look at the kernel configuration file, located in the /usr/src/sys/arch/<arch>/conf directory. However, some are not, e.g. the NTFS support is experimental and therefore not included in GENERIC." cheers, jake
