Hi all.  Still working on mounting our win 2000 box to our linux 
fileserver.  All well and good as I'm sure has been said before, where you 
make sure the login name is created on the linux box.  I know you would do 
smb mount and you can pull files onto the 2000 box via the linux server 
sending to it.  My concern now is, how do you do the reverse??  Is there a 
way for the win 2000 box to pull the files from the linux box via a script 
under 2000 somehow??  My thought is from a win point of view, you'd be 
safer to have the win box poll the linux box, rather than having a wide 
open send into the win box causing heaven knows what.  (of course the real 
safeguard is not to use win at all (grin)), but I guess that's not an 
option right now.  Any revelations on how to have the 2000 box poll the 
server would be greatly appreciated.  It's been a year now, and I really 
must figure out a way to get files to our Telephone reader box.  Thanks as 
always.
