Ahh yes.  And now that I think of it, they have another server that handl=
es=20
windows/smb connections.  I didn't mention that the computer is connected=
=20
directly to the department's network.. I'm not trying to access from=20
off-campus or anything.  I think Laura is right-  they are probably makin=
g=20
the homedirectorys available via smb/win protocol.

thanks for the point in the right direction!
