The user manual for the beta of VMWare Server 2.0 talks about an integrated Samba file sharing solution. But I've had some problems actually getting the beta to run on my machine, so couldn't give you any more detail than that. Apart from that, installing and configuring samba on the host is a fairly simple exercise. -- Pete -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
