FreeBSD has always just worked, at least with the default configuration that uses NFS for most things. I think blocksize support may be manditory for some clients. I think there might have been another feature requred for some clients, but I can't remember what it was off the top of my head. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
