So your son and daughter will be able to share files between themself directly. For communicating between the Mac/FBSD and the Windows machine, use SMB/CIFS. However, when communicating between your Mac and your FBSD machine, use NFS. I have Tiger and I can prove through testing that performance is better for NFS when communicating amongst the Unix based hosts. When dealing with Windows it's just easier to use SMB/CIFS as it is included with Windows already. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That was the only sad thing about OSX for me I discovered, but Apple probably thought that people would like to connect to servers via the GUI method more than the CLI based command =\. If you need scriptability, there're always Applescript and the Automator in 10.4 that ties in with Apple's stuff quite nicely. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
