(the appletalk stuff is still operational... does > it need NFS?) no, NFS == Network File System (more accuratly known as No File Security ;-) it is for exporting parts/all of your filesystem to other *nix hosts, while its possible to export to win* boxes its a very bad idea (unless you squash all uids and export read-only) since exporting to win* user == giving out root access. (this is true of any NFS export unless you exclusivly control root on all client machines, hence the No File Security comment) for exporting to win* you want samba. exporting to macos users you want netatalk (afpd, atalkd, papd) if you need none of the above then for petes sake shut it off! -- Ethan Benson http://www.alaska.net/~erbenson/
