Terry, please. Of course it is a "single user box", that's what
everyone has in the office this days. NT has this problem as well,
yet people install telnet-servers on it, and do not care, that
A may log-in remotely, and access drives mounted by B.
Why don't you tell us where are those patches/sources for FreeBSD
mount_smb (or whatever it is), so that one can have it if he/she
wants it?
