Hi                                                                              
                                                               
                                                                                
                                                               
Question for deb-user.  I look after the IT side of things for a friends 
business, right now they have 3 pc running windows XP -  has to be, the main 
client app is Access - VBA.                                                     
                                                                             
                                                                                
                                                               
They have 1 server which is running debian + vmware, I have Windows 2000 server 
                                                               
installed in VMware and I am using AD, with the three machines part of the      
                                                               
domain.  I have create a mandatory, locked profile for each of the users with a 
                                                               
cut down menu list and limited access to drives letters etc.....  The server is 
                                                               
also used for printing and file sharing                                         
                                                               
                                                                                
                                                               
I am about to replace the server with a openwrt router/firewall to handle the   
                                                               
adsl and firewall etc and another server with debian, my easy path is to        
                                                               
install vmware and move the files across.                                       
                                                               
                                                                                
                                                               
But I would like to use samba instead, the userid I would move across to        
                                                               
openldap (re create - not use the ad info), I am pretty sure I can get samba to 
                                                               
talk to ldap for authentication.                                                
                                                               
                                                                                
                                                               
I really want the lock profiles and menu's it this easy to do and manage under  
                                                               
samba ?  Am I going to be creating a lot of pain for myself.
