That is something I am looking at at the moment. Right now Samba has only extremely primitive privilege support and the privileges code needs a fairly major update to allow it to be used effectively for the sort of thing you want. I am not sure whether this functionality will make it into 3.0. > On the same subject, I wish I could know whether it will be possible to > manager the Samba 3.0 Domain from Windows NT user manager for Domain in a > stable way in a forthcoming version (Sorry for this question but my customer > is used to work with this GUI in old NT environments). Quite a few basic management tasks will be possible, but don't expect all remote management tasks to work. Cheers, Tridge
