One thing I'd like somebody to check: what _does_ happen with OS X and NFS (OS X as a client, not server)? In particular: - Is it suddenly sane and case-sensitive? - Does the NFS client do any unicode conversion? I tried to google for it, but didn't find the right keywords to get anything useful out of that modern-day internet oracle. Linus
