See http://www.FreeBSD.ORG/ for info We've had some problems with SOSS (Son of Stans' Server) for NT- it tends to return from a select() call before the timeout with no descriptors set. We gave up on it a while ago (8 months). Maybe it's been improved since then. The DOS version works fine, if you don't have directory names with periods in them. That was a fairly simple source-code hack to fix that. Don't ask me where to get them- we don't use them anymore. I do have a copy of the DOS code, but it is quite different than the NT code. Oh yeah- we never did figure out how to start the NT version as a service. We were only able to figure out how to get it to start automatically by putting it in a user's startup folder. -Mark Taylor mtaylor@cybernet.com of Stans' Server) for NT- it tends to return from a select() call before the timeout with no descriptors set.
