Then use a file copy utility such as IDEM http://peccatte.karefil.com/Software/Idem/idemhelpeng.htm It can copy from smb file systems be they on Linux or Windows to your news server and keep the permissions. Windows 2003 is nice. Are you going to be running Citrix too, or just the built in terminal services? > Is there a good doc on this that will make it a simple procedure? > > > Raymond Norton > LCTN > admin at lctn.org > > > To Infinity and beyond! > > --Buzz Lightyear > > > _______________________________________________ > TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota > Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org > Got pictures for TCLUG?
