You mean you want to share the drivers themselves?

Yeah, the symlinks need to be on the server. You could certainly do this with a Linux server... > E.g. From the mapped Z:\ drive, change a file name from 'foo' to > 'bar'.

Does anyone know why this > happens? We set the cache timeout very high on the smbmount command. (Search for "ttl" in /etc/master.) This is just for performance; there is no particular reason. You can use z_opts=ttl=5000 or somesuch to override the setting from the kernel boot prompt (or in the DHCP option). The TTL value is in milliseconds. Unfortunately, I have no simple suggestion for doing what you are asking. I would normally use a Linux file server and just create a symlink there. - Pat ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by Black Hat Briefings & Training.
