I actually wanted to put some older files on the external HD, as the space
gets tight and I cannot replace the five 70GB HDs running in Raid5 without
some expenses. So I thought about getting an external ATA HD with USB2.0.
Unfortunately, the server does not have USB.

As in a workgroup environment users would have to logon on each 'server'
(PC) seperately in order to avoid making the folders readable to all (as I
still need to restrict access), I want to mount the HD in a transparent
manner, so users can access the original data while the HD is actually ona a
different computer, without entering their passwords again (and remembering
another password!)

Cheers,

Thorsten
