Sounds nice. But I have no access at all to the Windows server, other
than to authenticate from it. There is no way the IT guys will pass any
such info to my G*d forsaken (in their eyes) Linux boxes. I think I will
have to take some time and update one of the Linux servers to make what
I need happen. It is also our subversion server, Apache download box
with software/SATA RAID. It is the first and last items that always make
upgrading the OS make one take pause for consideration of the problems
that can appear...
