And I should mention that even though I haven't run in to the problem in any significant fashion yet, your point is well taken and will serve to make the process just a little bit more "bulletproof". It is definitely on my "to do" list now, just not quite at the top. My available Linux time at the moment is pretty much consumed with confirming system security and putting processes in place with an aim to maintaining that security (reviewing all firewall settings, doing some portscan testing, etc.) I'm currently looking at alternatives to Samba for being able to access files on the Windows machines. Using ssh and sftp works well for getting to the files on the Linux boxes, but I'm still using Samba to get to the Windows machines' files (and some printers). -- Bob Swift - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
