Wow, JDW, thank you for the helpful and detailed post. I'm not to the point where I need to use it, but it sure is nice to know it is here.

Actually, I'm quite the OS X ignoramus. I'm still having trouble getting my 9.1 machines to connect nicely to my Tiger machines. (The other direction is fine, mounting 9.1 shared volumes on the Tiger machine) All I get is a silly drop box. I have Pogue's, "The Missing Manual" but need to actually devote the time to reading the relevant material.
