Hello Experts.Can I implement any group policy via Samba in Linux? For example, In Windows OS you can write a Group policy for disable specific application or hide partitions and when the user logging into the PC the Policy execute on his system automatically, But how about Linux? Thank you.?

I think it would be a great project, but not that easy to implement. It need interfaces to different services like pam for passwort and login management, write/edit config files (global and per user), etc. Regards, Marc
Not sure if you are asking about server or client. Are you asking about : 1. Pushing GPOs via Linux SaMBa Server to Windows machines? 1. i believe this has been somewhat doable for years using a windows workstation mmc pointed at a Samba Server. 2. Pushing GPOs via Linux SaMBa Server to Linux machines? 1. At least four years ago, LikeWise.com had some very limited GPO support for Linux clients. Other options to research would be "Desired State Configuration" and or otherwise move to a devops flavor of configuration management. MS AD GPOs are in XML and should to some extent be parseable by anything.
