Another might be that a network analyst sees a termendous amount of traffic reading a specific File Handle. How can he determine which file it is and make a decision to possibly copy the file down to the clients? (Before anyone says it, no he can't see the LOOKUP requests to get the file handle, there is way too much traffic to be that specific). Does anyone else have examples for the need to have a FH to PathName call? Carl Beame [] It looks like a good and logical thing to do. Also in this case clients do not need to cache information about all parent directories (servers do this anyway) or perform back traversing with ".." lookups. So, here we are speaking about general protocol simplification and efficiency. boris
