With Linux, what you dscribe is very easy, not sure about FreeBSD. With Linux you would just use a loopback mount to mount the image. ie. mount -o loop /path_to_iso1 /path_to_mount_point1 Then use Samba to share the mount_points Greg -- Greg Freemyer The Norcross Group Forensics for the 21st Century -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
