John, If I understand what MS describes a CAL to be, then ANY machine that connects to the W2K file server (for file/print access) is considered a Client that requires a CAL. This would (I believe) also be the case if you setup the W2K fileserver to allow FTP access and you used FTP to connect to it from that Linux/UNIX Samba running system you wish to have browse the W2K system.
If CALs are getting you down, take a look at using Samba as a PDC and get rid of those silly CALs. I did so here and while there were a few minor hiccups, we are running quite smoothly and I can swear that file transfer times are WAY up. (I never calculated the time difference, I just don't have the time.) Regards, Robert Adkins II IT Manager/Buyer Impel Industries, Inc.
