If you need to serve files from a Windows machine, consider the Microsoft product "Windows Services for Unix 2.0, Server for NFS". Given that you have an IP link to run VSS, you can run NFS too. With some skill, you could set up automounting based on user id and READ ONLY NFS volumes.
Would that do it? I have VSS and SFU on my W2K system. I can run both NFS and telnet. With patience, it is possible to remote dial into W2K, open PPP, open a telnet session, then launch VNC service, with NFS too. One needs to be careful about too much Windows configuration with file sharing. For example, if you make a non-admin user have Windows shared volumes that are also shared by Services for Macintohs, plus the exported directory is marked for automated compression and "show compressed directories in a different color", multi-file drag&drop copy from a Mac will often reboot the Windows system. There seem to be similar NFS interactions, but one can only stand so many reboots while trying to figure out what is going on. NB, Mac OSX works fine with NFS. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the line: 'unsubscribe vnc-list' in the message BODY See also: http://www.uk.research.att.com/vnc/intouch.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------
