Right. % wouldn't do this unless i had to, and i can imagine it might cause some % problems, but shouldn't be a big deal.... Eh? That shouldn't cause any problems at all. People have NFS-mounted binary trees all of the time; who bothers to load a copy of every CAD package on every workstation, for instance? % % if you don't have root access on the machine, maybe the admin could make % you a directory on a local disc you could install mutt into? Not worth the bother. % % is the filer something fairly robust like a netapp? in that case i'd % feel a bit less weird about it... we have customers who compile and run % stuff with few problems on our netapp (from linux client machines)... You should be able to share disk from any sort of box for binaries; there isn't even any worry about locking. % % w :-D -- David T-G * It's easier to fight for one's principles (play) [EMAIL PROTECTED] * than to live up to them. -- fortune cookie (work) [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.justpickone.org/davidtg/ Shpx gur Pbzzhavpngvbaf Qrprapl Npg!
