Hi Guys, Thanks for all this.
Do you happen to know if I can have multiple machines mounting the same share, or is mount an exclusive operation. Johan, I assume from your email and logo that you are a squirrel fan, so maybe you already know this: they have amazingly beautiful black squirrels here in Toronto, where I happen to be this week. Here is a link from Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_squirrel. But it doesn't do them justice, they are much prettier than this photo depicts. They are also very tame (being urban), they run around in the snow and beg for nuts and things from passers by. The bin outside has teeth marks on the *inside*, where I guess one got trapped and tried to escape. Anyhow, maybe you already know, but I pass it on for what it's worth. Sorry, this rambling is all a bit off topic! Regards Steve.
