Just install FreeBSD and the Samba package. If you want vice-versa (seeing Windows boxes from FreeBSD), install Sharity Light too. If you want to access the FreeBSD box even from Macs, install Netatalk too. With Samba and Netatalk you could even use the FreeBSD box as a print server for both worlds (it works better than Intranetware, in my experience). All the mentioned applications are in the ports, so they are almost "plug&play". For more info, look at the applications' page of www.freebsd.org. --- Stefano Riva Software Engineer - System Administrator Informazioni Editoriali I.E.
