Issue with floppy drives

[Rippl, Steve]

I'm not exactly clear what you're describing here... is this a
thin-client environment, where each client is seeing the floppies of
all the other clients?  If that's the case _AND_ all your users are in
the same group (ldap/AD authentication, all users in Domain Users?)
then I think under 9.04/9.10 you got to see all the drives.  Are you
running different users on each server?  This behavior was changed for
10.04 (again by Scott).

If this isn't what you're talking about then sorry, please ignore me! :-)
