Thank you all, for the advices and answers. They are being very useful. And I may not know a lot of things about Samba but I sure know why samba was written for (cheers John!) :-) BTW I am reading the Samba-HOWTO-Collection, thanks again. I considered changing to LDAP but time was a problem (as usual), now I will reconsider the LDAP idea. I will use the Samba 3 new release as soon as possible, that's because I have already started the migration process. I am going slowly, and solving some problems that come up.

It would be nice to have some advice, because I don't > know if Samba is ready for assuming this ;-) First piece of advice: don't use Samba 3 betas, *especially* when release candidates are available. Second piece of advice: at this point in time don't use Samba 3 for production unless you *need* functionality that's not in Samba 2.2.x.

You should consider using LDAP as a password backend. -- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
