Hi- Is there any way to make it so that Samba3 with an LDAP backend doesn't need to create local linux accounts to work?

Hi,
I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users
put large files on them, e.g. films.
Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of
unnecessary traffic. Is there any kind of filtering possible ?
Other solutions ?
Cheers,

If you have that, you could then install Services for Unix on the Windows domain controller, and set up each account. Theoretically, it should work, although I never actually got it to. Apparently some people on this list have. Shannon
