Sure :)

I see, from the documentation, I can use data stored in ldap to authenticate
windows clients.  Most of my machines are linux - can they authenticate via
ebox or must this be set up separately?

They can authenticate against the eBox LDAP too. You'll have to set it
up in the linux clients manually. There is an experimental package for
Ubuntu to automate this but it does more things that you probably
don't want:

Ask if you have any problem with the set up in the clients.

Can the shares, set up by ebox, be served to linux machines by nfs rather than
samba using ebox or must I manually export them?
Not by eBox, you'll have to do it manually.

This is something that I am interested in as I face certain hurdles with samba access from linux clients. How would I manually export a ebox user's share so they can access it via nfs? Say as an example the ebox user is defined in ebox as user "sinclair" with a password "samba". That share would be "hidden" for a normal linux user on the ebox server. So how to export it for nfs sharing?

Kind regards,
Sinclair
