That is, to the MAC, the FreeBSD box will appear to be a PC server. But - there's another approach. FreeBSD supports appletalk.... I don't know what the status of that is. I have heard people have been successful with that. With the combination of AppleTalk and Samba - FreeBSD would seem like a wonderful choice in that environment... - Dave Rivers - To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
