That's what I did first. The problem is that if an administrator copies into a
home-dir, the file is owned administrator.admin - the user can't access it.

<g> so (a) you are the only administrator or (b) have others willing to work on
an unix system.
Here we have one linux-admin and a group of service-admins who are not very
interested in the
server, but specialised in plotting, printing, scanning... and use either macs
or nt-pcs. The
system is run by students of architecture, and those don't all want to learn
unix... So I must
give a fileserver that they can use as if working on their local drive.
Thank you, CU, Lars.
