I am not having a problem with accessing drives,  per se,  when it comes to
such stuff as ftp.  Though until I got some permissions straightened out it
was easier for me to fire up ftpd on the OS/2 box and ftp from the Linux box
into there and run things from that end,  "pulling" the files that I wanted to 
move across rather than "pushing" them from the OS/2 end.

But the Samba stuff,  the shares and whatnot,  that's still in need of a bunch 
of work here.

I don't see where the filesystem should have anything to do with this, 
though.
