No. E.g. the samba ioslave uses libsmb. > > I don't have a lot of spare time but i do want to work on this if > > possible but i'm guessing it's to hard and to much for just a spare time > > project so don't expect anything. > > > > Regards, > > Mark > > For who wants information about the existing KioFuse project (dead?) : > http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/KioFuse I started this quite some time ago, and then left it when I didn't need it anymore. Then someone took it over and worked a bit on it. The idea was that basically if you "mount" one ioslaves, and when this ioslave gets a posix file request, it downloads the file via kio, and then properly answers the file request (like open, read, write, etc.). Don't know how much has changed since then. Alex
