Lars:

1. Does your admin user work?

2. depends on the answer to 1.

3. There's a contributed note on the e-smith site on how to add a 2nd drive.

4. I don't think so, but I welcome any corrections.

Just type this on your SME console:

   /sbin/e-smith/db configuration set maxAcctNameLength 15   /sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

BUT be aware of you can have problems with win9x machines! You have been warned! (And I don´t say you WILL have problems, but you CAN have problems. And I´m too new to understand this 12 letters limitation of windows, but I´m SURE that SME guys don´t do that if isn´t by a GOOD reason! They have a GREAT software!)
