Mounting a LanMan-shared drive on my FreeBSD box is what I want. Yes, I'm already mounting my FreeBSD drives on my NT box, but I want the other direction too. A la NFS. I might tackle such a beast if there is no one else already working on it. However, it would definitely be a WHILE before I would have the time to do the project justice. As an aside, I could certainly avoid all this if there was a freely available NFS server for NT. I did a semi-extensive surf for one but came up nil. - troy Troy Arie Cobb troy@circle.net ------------------------------------------------------ | Circle Net, Inc. | global internet access | | http://www.circle.net | for western north carolina | | info@circle.net | and beyond... | | 704-254-9500 | | ------------------------------------------------------
