(for instance, we want all outgoing mail to either be resigned user@site or have the from field be user@site in the first place, or at least have a reply-to: field with user@site, we dont want internal topology to be externally known, but it can be internally, e.g. user@department...) c) we are (at least at first) running NFS fielsystems, not AFS - what does this lose us? last & least d) a small prob at the moment - we built atk in the obvious way and it all works okay modulo runti9me warnings about class lib not being found in succesively longer pathnamed directories...what causes this? thanks for any input... jon
