Agreed. However, I don't think Samba is necessary for the original intention of the installer, if I understood it correctly. I think he mostly wanted to share the internet connection. I don't think file sharing between Win98 and FreeBSD was mentionned. That's why I said "only install what you need" :) At 09:53 PM 9/11/00 -0700, Caleb Walker wrote: >Youre right on a comercial envronment.
