I have used FreeBSD and Samba for several years to do just what you describe. It works very well. Take a look at www.samba.org. CoriolisOpen Press has a book with CD's, too (www.coriolis.com). My shelves are littered with books I've used to get started on something new; I even have the 1978 edition on Kernighan and Ritchie, and a little gem called Mosaic Quick Tour. And I know there have been other books about Samba. It's very popular. -- == Gary Dunn == Honolulu == Open Slate Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
