Thanks for the information. This eases my mind about that part of the problem, but I still need to find a way to handle the critical system directories. Apparently the current version of Samba, unlike some of the earlier ones, refuses to open system areas -- or is this a case of Windows refusing external access to them, even by members of the Administrators group? If it's the latter, perhaps I could use Windows' native backup capability to copy the content to a non-system area that Samba could access, although that seems like a dreadful kludge and waste of virtual disk space... -- Jim Kyle mailto:[email protected] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.net email is sponsored by Sprint What will you do first with EVO, the first 4G phone?
