An old machine (P133, 1.8 G Hard Drive) just got freed up, and I would like to move the ftp services over to that old thing. The problem is the Hard Disk is real small, and the board won't support a larger one. I do have plenty of space on several windows machines (NTFS) partitions, and was wondering if I could just mount an NTFS network partition on the FTP box, and store the User's Home directories on that Partition. Do you see anything wrong with this approach? How are permissions handled (a mix of NTFS and UNIX permissions?)? Can you even mount a networked windows drive in FBSD (using Samba I guess)? Thanks for any advice! Adam To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
