You are quite correct. My server does not have the client code installed. I do not even build the kernel module on it. I also run a second server machine on old Sparc iron, and neither it has the kernel module installed. The only hassle is that some bos commands need the '-localauth' flag when run on the file server. -- Måns Nilsson primary/secondary/besserwisser/machina MN-1334-RIPE +46 705 989668 Hello, GORRY-O!!
