It is implemented as a user-level NFS server, and works okay for occasional file access. You run "rumba //machine/share /mountpoint", and it mounts the remote share. There are commandline options for specifying who you log in as, and what owner/permissions to display on the Unix side. -Dan Nelson dnelson@emsphone.com
