Whether or not any = "FreeBSD" application has use for them is maybe beside the point -- = vendors have a use for support. Though probably every vendor who wants = them has already coded their own variant. Oh, you mean like some provider of a NAS appliance based on FreeBSD? :-) I do take your point, though fortunately (?) there really is only one = "vendor" we all need to concern ourselves with here, and that's Samba. = I doubt that anyone in the BSD world save Apple has the resources to go = their own direction with respect to CIFS. A fair amount of googling around doesn't reveal many folks hacking this = sort of integration into samba. I'll have to ask Jeremy. Now you have = me curious. :-) - Jordan
