if you put all the students in a class into a group (ie class1) this won't be a problem it'll be a bit of a hassle to set up when you're creating users in unix but you don't have to do anything special to do this in samba. > > ok... > > i want to know too if exist some application (GUI) that can runs in another > machine (not linux) that can create users, shares, groups and rights for the > domain (samba acting like pdc) or if is much difficulty to implement a LDAP > enviroment to integrat both platforms users accounts. there is a web browser interface to samba that will let you create shares. I think it is possible to use the native windows tools to add users and modify groups, and it is certainly possible to set permissions with native windows tools. You may want to get a hold of webmin to let non unix users do sysadmin tasks like adding and modifying users. I use an ldap environment with the smbldap-tools from unav to manage users. not hard to set up. best wishes brad -- Bradley W.
