Is that possible? There is no http:// address for this - I have no idea what the base url would be. Plus, there are permissions on the files, and I can't show sensitive hr data to people. Just a thought provoker. Thanks guys.

The appliance and full texis products can crawl file servers and do result authentication so users only see results for files they are authorized to see.

Mount the server to be walked to the machine running texis. Then use a "file:" url to walk it. There may be some tweaks to dowalk and/or search required, I'm not sure off the top of my head.

Mark, how would the server know who is logged in? We dont have any auth on our intranet, just the file servers have nt style auth.

The Login Info field from a Webinator profile gets passed for Windows NTLM file:// authentication, via <urlcp user|pass> just like HTTP Basic etc.
(If the machine that Texis is running on is non-Windows, you'll have to add <urlcp fileroot /mount/dir> to the dowalk script, where you mounted the fileeystems on /mount/dir/hostname.)
