most of these LANs that my buddy looks after use '' for password, so, it might not be a big issue. but, from a windoze user perspective, he wouldn't even know he is opening from/saving to a Linux server, would he ? (I was kinda suggesting to my buddy he should still bill them whatever the 'Small Business Server' costs, and, not even tell them the're running Linux..) -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
