My FTP drive is shared via Samba. The FTP server is running on my Windows
machine behind my Linux firewall. The other stuff I have is on my Windows
machine. So, I have to make "shortcuts" to point crap around. It's a pain
in the butt to do, since I have to make shortcuts that point back and
forth. I'll do it one of these days...

Btw, I'm using the 2.4.21 kernel, and I remember the --bind option.
Unfortunately, it's not very useful when the ftp server is running on a
Windows box (for features' sake).
