A user recently asked how he could tar his files over the network. Since 3.2 has a nifty icon-driven system in workspace, I figured out how to do it on my account, then told him how to do it. When he tried it, it didn't work - he got a message that the machine that had a tape drive didn't have one. I carefully checked everything I could find, but couldn't get it to work on his account - it worked fine on mine. The only difference I could find between the accounts was that he didn't have a password. I assigned one, and low and behold, File Transfer worked fine!
