I use netatalk on Sarge. Three Macs on my network all find it as an Appletalk server quite reliably. I use one of my Linux boxes for safe copies of Mac stuff. I don't try to access the Macs from the Linux boxes. There are too many layers of obfuscation on the Mac for me to feel like I know what I'm doing in that direction. I am definately not a Mac expert. -- Paul E Condon [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
