Group Policy Management in Samba:

http://samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/PolicyMgmt.html


Not sure if I am missing the trees for the forrest but to me that page
seems to support my conclusion. That if I want to use Group Policy
features with Samba I _do need_ active directory. I could try to use
the older NT4 style System Policies but that is not what I am after, I
am after using the _Group_ Policy features that only come with using
active directory? Or did I miss something?
