Hiya,
Me thinks your teacher was telly porkies. Samba 3 can not act as an Active Directory.
You can do some policies but this has to be done though an NT 4 syle policy file. ACL
will work aslong as the underlying filesystem can support them.
If you want to find out how samba works, I suggest you buy a book or look at the
Samba-HOWTO.
Cheers

Hi,
ok i was told by my teacher that the newer version of samba i.e. version 3
will be a perfect clone of active directory and it will have all the features that
active directory domains have.
so tell me if this is true. can a samba version 3 server act like a ACTIVE
directory based windows domain controller?
and also if u can tell me that the domain policies defined by a windows active
directory domain controller will remain undisturbed if it is replaced by a samba
server.
like if i was restricted from accessing the networl folder of one of my
teacher which contains the question paper for tomorrow exam , will i still be unable
to access it
or the permissions will go crazy and i would be able to access it.
plz inform me more about how the concept of a active directory domain and
permissions have been incorporated or not incorporated into the new version of samba
waiting for ur replies
