Since I wanted to demonstrate that it worked on the Linux box (having tripped over that one originally!) each time I hacked one copy of the script I then had to move to the other machine and duplicate the changes I'd just made. Clearly this was error-prone, so it made sense to just use the copy on the Linux box. On the NT4 it's accessible as /cygdrive/i/rnc/try. And no, I've never heard of smbntsec. What's it mean/do?
