Bleep!  In my case this means that I need to boot the firewire drive with
10.3.9 on it and check my OpenVMS server for Mac files I've got stuffed
there.

This is the kind of thing they really should have made known prior to
release!  In my case this is just a major annoyance, that can be worked
around (though it will probably take more time than the rest of the
upgrade).  In your case, this is a big enough problem that changing
platforms suddenly makes sense, not a good move for Apple.

I wonder if 10.4 can connect to the *antique* samba server I'm running on my
OpenVMS server...  For me it's either that or NFS, neither seem very
appealing :^( 

This could be related to all the changes that have broken *ALL* the 3rd Paty
VPN software, DAVE, and some other stuff.
