Well, you don't need a GUI to access the files and share them in the sense of raw file share functionality. I think perhaps the OP was getting at "sharing" at a higher level, like Windows User A being able to hand off an Office file to FreeBSD User B and User B being able to whip out OpenOffice and edit that file. There's probably a few on this list who'd be comfortable editing an Office doc in vi, but I personally wouldn't recommend it. 8) A /complete/ sharing solution may need to include the users and their need for some X Windows apps. The OP didn't state such a need explicitly but to me it seemed implied that the FreeBSD PC needs to open the Windows files and probably vice versa. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) , (608) 266-6348
