Hi Harry,

Ok, that leads to my next question......;-) If the handling of EA's CAN be
replicated by other SMB environments, are they handled as part of SMB itself,
or does it require a specific "add-on" to the SMB implementation to be able to 
do this? IE, can ANY SMB peer handle EA's as part of File Serving? 

Thanks..........pk.
