Says something about NFS, doesn't it, when SMB is recommended in preference to it... <g> But yeah, I've seen that SMB transfers seem to go faster than NFS transfers in similar network conditions. I haven't tried using SMB as a regular filesystem sharing tool amongst Unix systems, but with the faff-ups I've been having with NFS lately, I may just try it out in the near future... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- #include <disclaimer.h> Matthew Palmer [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
