Let me start by saying I have been using Samba for several years now to support "mission critical" data transfer and have found it to be a truly awesome package. I now have a need to also share disk space from NT to Unix. One package I have found to do this is Sharity, does anyone have any experience with it? How does it compare to Samba for reliability? Are there any other free or low cost solutions? Thanks, Steve -- ________________________________________________________________ Steven J.

(e.g. "smbmount ntboxname:servicename /mnt/smbmount"). I don't use it myself, but I have not heard any bad things about the client side of Samba. -- Q: What's tiny and yellow and very, very, dangerous? A: A canary with the super-user password.
