Niiiiiice. I've got samba running at home for no other reason than to share printers to the single old Losedows machine, and on the laptop solely to allow the windows virtual machine to use the printers on the linux host. Assuming bonjour works on Losedows 2K, I'd much rather pitch Samba (which is an enormous pain in the butt to install, configure, and maintain). -- Tom Russo KM5VY SAR502 DM64ux http://www.swcp.com/~russo/ Tijeras, NM QRPL#1592 K2#398 SOC#236 http://kevan.org/brain.cgi?DDTNM In some cultures what I do would be considered normal. -- Ineffective daily affirmation _______________________________________________ Xastir mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xastir.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/xastir
