You can mount the partition wherever you want. In your three examples, "sambapublic" could be a file system mounted on /usr/local/share, /usr/share, or /home. What we are talking about here is the OS view. To the Windows user what counts is the share name. On server fattoad, any one of these directories could be shared out as "pub" (or whatever name you like). The windows users will not see the OS pathname. Gary Dunn Honolulu
