Yes, you can share the same "share" by several clients at the same time. And you can assign the same drive letter to it on each client or, of cause, use a fully qualified UNC Name like \\servername\sharename If one client wants to use a file, which is in use by another user, there will pop up a warning and/or the file will be opened in read-only mode. > Is it a way to let a password protected access to subdirectories of this > drive t: to each client, such that each client has his own > password/subdirectory ? I'm not shure, but I don't think so. Using the original OS/2 server you can assing r/w permissions to a directory for any user and assign different permissions for its subdirectories to users. So, all users may have r/w permissions in the directory (i.e. drive t:), and each user may have a subdir in that directory, where he is the only one with r/w permissions and all other users may have read permission or no permission at all. Samba doesn't have such a functionality, but I'm not shure about it. > > You have first to install OO onto the server directory using the /net > > option.

No problem. With samba you can share printers, too. You must install a network printer on the windows clients (including the printer driver which tells the programs how to print) and connect it to the server's printer share. The User of each window client can select the network printer or the local one while walking through the printer dialog in OO. You can determine a windows system wide default (network printer or one of several network printers, or the local one), which is automatically preselected in OpenOffice, but unfortunately you can't determine a (different) default printer in OO itself.
