Sometimes I can get at files on the pc directly on the sun, most of the time I can't. Also, (I haven't looked into this) smbfs writing is incredibly slow. Pulling a file from a pc with samba is much, much faster than trying to push it through smbfs. smbfs on freebsd would be most welcome. -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom
