The Major Telco/ISP I work for uses Samba to share home directories off our primary Solaris server at my location. 200+ users across 4 major sites stretching from Vancouver to Montreal. Works quite well, and far more stable than even Win2K AS. I understand our parent US corp also uses this type of solution (We've got 55,000 employees worldwide). Adam
