Yep. The machine one is reading from (Windows OS in this case) would have to have a daemon running, listening on a port, for incoming queries. The daemon would then pass the request to a logon prompt, and if the UID/password submitted passed muster, then the individual logging in would have whatever permissions (read, write, delete, rename, create, run applications, etc.) that their User ID had been granted. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ http://robertwittig.net/ http://robertwittig.org/ . ------------------------------------ To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.Yahoo!
