Hello Dan, I'm using LDAP and Samba too for LTSP. So far: 1. Creating user homedir is done manually. I heard about setting up 'obey pam restriction = yes' in smb.conf, but I haven't tried it. 2. Using the quota capability in the filesystem (ext3). Manually of course. 3. When creating the user we can specify him/her to be a member of certain group. Depends on your settings, with samba we use smbldap-tools. In general my schema is like this: Thin client --> Kernel image from LTSP --> authenticate to LDAP --> autofs for homedir --> Samba. -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | Linux tutorial http://linux2.arinet.org 09:29:38 up 1:14, 2.6.20-16-generic GNU/Linux Let's use OpenOffice. http://www.openoffice.org
