Specifically, you can't properly authenticate external users. With XP Home all external users come in as "guest", a limitation placed there by MS. I don't know if using a passwd file for users would work around that, I think it might. I recommend you upgrade your server box, if not to a real server OS (e.g. Win200x Server or Linux) then at least to XP Pro. Linux works well and you can use SSH out of the box with it, and set up Samba for domain authentication, Windows file and print shares, etc. etc. Glen Starrett
