Hi

Question for slug.  I look after the IT side of things for a friends business, 
right now they have 3 pc running windows XP - has to be, the main client app is 
Access - VBA.

They have 1 server which is running debian + vmware, I have Windows 2000 server 
installed in VMware and I am using AD, with the three machines part of the 
domain.  I have create a mandatory, locked profile for each of the users with a 
cut down menu list and limited access to drives letters etc.....  The server is 
also used for printing and file sharing 

I am about to replace the server with a openwrt router/firewall to handle the 
adsl and firewall etc and another server with debian, my easy path is to 
install vmware and move the files across.

But I would like to use samba instead, the userid I would move across to 
openldap (re create - not use the ad info), I am pretty sure I can get samba to 
talk to ldap for authentication.

I really want the lock profiles and menu's it this easy to do and manage under 
samba ?  Am I going to be creating a lot of pain for myself.

Alex
