Sorry this is a bit off the speakup format, well a bit anyway. I am trying to replicate a win-blows file system and am not having much luck. i need not only to have the files transfer, which BTW I have accomplished with rsync and samba, but I need to have the win-blows local group and sid transfer as well. Any suggestions? -- Keith Watson kwatson at smed.yi.org Among the major impediments to discovery are not the ignorant but those with illusions of knowledge. - B. Alan Wallace
