Yes yes...  but hindsight is ALWAYS 20/20.  I would rather gouge my eyes 
out with a rusty fork than try to teach my staff that they have to put 
ftp. in front of the servername.  (Yeah, I had a bad year last year...)

I can't NFS mount home, because I have /home populated locally with 
Maildir folders on the mailserver.  I *don't* want people to have direct 
access to Maildir in their home folders, because they tend to delete the 
folder (I didnt' put that there syndrome).

I think I am just going to have ftp not work internally.  I don't have 
enough summer left to do MX stuff.  (I have to learn to administer an 
xserve this summer, which is NOT going well... I just locked myself out 
of the server before I left from work today...  Any OSX server gurus are 
welcome to contact me offlist if they have any advice for setting up my 
new 10.4.1 xserve... ugh)

Thanks for all the input,
-Shawn
