*It seems like a stupid thing to do, but for naive and non-technical users,

*computer, easily to some users on their local machines.  I guess I'm trying
*to "hide" the network from them.

*Is this unreasonable to ask?  Has this been done?  Is there a better way?

how about something like the X window system? this allows you to access
the resources of other machines, and will give you a window interface
which your users may find easier to deal with (so i am told, i am not sure
i believe it).
