Michael, I for one would be extremely interested in a workshop on this subject. For what it's worth, I experimented with putting all of the RM Connect File system onto a Mandrake 7.2 Samba Server and running a few clients from it. It mostly worked although there was a problem with the portmapper file that RM use to connect to to their User Manager and Password Manager utilities. The filename is RMRPCNT. I set up all the permissions after scanning through the batch files and inf files on the 2.2 and 2.3 update disks, and then made sure the smb.conf file held all the right shares. I didn't get as far as setting up groups although it would not have been difficult. Using the setup I was able to do anetwork build using the standard RM setup disks. I couldn't check for differences in access speed (RM can be slow!) since I was using my own 233 box and a couple of 486s with an upgrade chip at 133MHz. Rob Maltby
