Hi BJ, I had a student in one of my Linux classes at CCV exactly what you describe with LDPA and SAMBA. I'll forward your email to him and ask him to get in touch with you. he was a Windows jock before he took my Linux classes and wanted to prove to himeself that he could accomplish everything he needed just as well with LDAP and Active Directory.. He took SAMBA well beyond my understanding. Dave David Tisdell. Music Teacher Browns River Middle School 20 River Road Jericho, VT 05465 [email protected] (e-mail)

I would prefer to use a linux server for authentication but I will need the same configuration features. I have been looking for a good guide to setting up Ubuntu server or CentOS as an alternative to Active Directory, but have not found one yet. The features I want to see. 1. works with Windows clients. 2. Network Home folders (does not neessisarly need to hold profile information) 3. Logon scripts for clients. 4. shared printers 5. shared folders. 6. can log linux boxes in with the same credentials and logon scripts. -bj Bjorn Behrendt IT Coordinator Mount St. Joseph [email protected] (802) 775-0151
