You can either teach Linux how to speak Microsoft protocols, or you can teach Windows how to speak Unix protocols. I've mostly done the former. As everyone else said, "Samba" is the standard choice for that. Samba is a software package that implements many Microsoft protocols, especially SMB (Server Message Block, used for file and printer sharing). Your best bet is to join Samba to the Active Directory domain -- make it a "member server", in Microsoft parlance. Then share out whatever parts of the Linux filesystem you need. I've still got my notes from when we did ours, and I can provide copies of config files if you like. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
