Yup, just about transparent for file sharing, though not for printing--you type in something like, smb://192.168.1.100 and if the Mac user has an account and an smbpassword (a smbpassword? Hrmm--a or an?) anyway, it's like sharing files in an MS network (or MS to samba). Printing however, isn't transparent--I had a bit of trouble setting it up, my wife lost patience, told me to stop playing with her machine and hook up the cheap printer that was thrown in with it. :) HTH Scott Robbins To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
