Hi                                                                                                                                             
                                                                                                                                               
Question for deb-user.  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.
