Yes, but you would have to modify their project. I am going out on a limn
here but I am guessing I am the only hard core windows admin on the list.
Possibly. In the end I think we need to find some other people to do this.
Maybe get the samba team interested by billing it as a live samba drive or
something.
Lisa probably knows the internal security better then I and we may have a
few programmers willing to work on it, but it is likely we can get
"layered"
fs driver without having admin access. You will have to use your own GUI
to
interact with the drive, not explorer, but it can be done.
Cool to hear that it's probably possible without admin privs even if it's
a pain.
But, you have to ask what your target is. Will 70% or more of the users in
question have access to admin level privileges? If so why not just
include
the real FS drivers on a FAT16 partition?
I'm beginning to think we need to start off with something that requires
admin privs, but not a reboot.
After that we can work on a solution that doesn't require admin privs.
Thanks for the responses.

That's already been done:

I really don't see how this is pertinent. For this project, I really don't
care about GNU/Linux support for non-free filesystems :).
That patch from Tridge looks like a good idea and something worth putting
in the kernel if it works as advertised ( technically and legally ), but
it doesn't help us get a free and open filesystem to be readable by m$. At
least not that I see.
