            Hi, Tom!

            Flaky things happen on the Mac clients when you share the root level of an NT
    volume. I don't have an answer about the 95/98 clients, though.

    |Dan,
    |
    |I've seen you and others say this before but why? Does this apply only
    |to Mac volumes or PC shares as well?

    I don't suppose you could be a little more specific then "flaky"? The
    reason I ask is that our NT Server's shared volumes are setup to share
    at the root. We have both Macintosh and WinNT clients, no 95 or 98.

    NT automatically shares all partitions as hidden SMB/CIFS shares (i.e.
    C$, D$, etc...) Sometimes, for security reasons, it is good to disable
    some or all of these shares, but this sometimes breaks applications
    which expect them to be present.
