Hi Larry, Thank you for your response. I read the link and a few of those items are a little over my head. If I try authenticating my self to the network in the following manner in the bash script net use '\\server\share' /user:DOMAIN\my_user my_users_password then use the share on the script like so du -ks \\server\share Will that traverse that share with the credentials used in the net use command? > > -- > Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com > RFK Partners, Inc.
