Thanks Robert...Unfortunately, changes to the server and client
require a large effort. The systems are only accessible remotely, are
in use 24 hours a day for two to three weeks at a time, and making any
change, even adding a script, requires re-certification.
Mark - thanks.. I will look at unfs..
Ross - We considered that option and may consider it if re-exporting a
share is possible with CIFS.
