Thaks alot...
I have to say something to that NFS thing... I mean NFS does then not respect
the very basics of file sharing. Even M$ does better. There u have everytime
the server or a PDC wich checks the rights but N E V E R the client. I mean,
how could the initial devloppers of NFS don't think about that? Trusting the
client is a ridicolous thing... I can't imagine then a situation where NFS
can be a good solution because for anonymous file services i can use FTP.
cheers,
Raffaele
