I can map a network drive from Windows NT 4 to my Unix system by inserting the EnablePlainTextPassword script in the Local Machine - System - ControlSet001 - RDR - Parameters section of the registry. However, Windows 2000 does not have this section.<br><br>Can anyone tell me how to map a drive to a Unix system in Windows 2000.<br><br>Thanks.

Hi,
You can you Samba on the unix side, it is not easy to configure. You can also use "Windows services for Unix" on the windows 2000 side.
(it has a NFS Client)
I hope this helps

You beat me to it but I disagree that Samba is not easy to setup.
The Unix utilities are ok.. but weak compared to some commerical packages. I have used Hummingbird with success, NFS Mastro was the exact flavor.
Sometimes I will suggest running an X_Windows client( server) depending on exactly what they want to do. It's a great idea to use Unix as a file share point. In my case it was a nasty database that took 14 hours to back up due to the fact it was a bunch of 2 kb files and virtually all the NT backup software insisted on using the NTFS file system which slowed things way down. We pushed the DB to a Unix mount point and then could do a raw backup each night... very fast and painless. WinaXe is what I settled on for the X-Windows. Cheap and works very well across 95/98 and 2Kpro platforms.

If you've got the budget, Citrix MetaFrame for UNIX operating systems is a great way of running UNIX apps on a PC. There's no version for SCO (since they have Tarentella) or Linux, but it runs on Solaris, AIX and HP-UX.
I think client drive mapping is in the pipeline for this product.
Citrix also provide UIS (Unix Integration Services).
It costs $$$$, though!
