Since no one else bothered to answer this one - at least in public - I'll take a crack at it. I think you want to do this as a file system. Take a look at the mount_umap man to see what kind of things you can do. You could use that as a starting point - except you really ought to get the umap file system working first. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Q: How do you make the gods laugh?
