samba - Sep 1998 - SAMBA ACL for Solaris

Are there plans to support ACL in Samba?

I'm a new Samba administrator. One of the issues we have is that of
supporting
a general purpose computer lab of 20 workstations (all running Windows
95).
When a student logs in, in addition to establishing policies and
restoring
their personal settings, I would like to establish their POP/IMAP
client and web browser information. This would include their username, 
their real name, POP/IMAP server, SMTP server, reply-to address,
web proxy address, home page, etc. I'd like to do this from the very 
beginning. I'd like to avoid explaining to a largely technologically-
illiterate group how to configure their mail reader (some of them will 
be new to Windows 95).

We're planning to use Netscape 4.06 (or higher) for both mail and web
browsing, largely because it is free of charge AND is IMAP-capable.

Is anyone else doing anything similar? How are you handling it?

Thanks in advance for any information.

I'm using Eudora. Maybe you can find a similar approach with Netscape.

In the login script, I map H: to the user's home dir. on the server.

In H:, there is an Email directory.

Eudora is launched with "D:\Eudora\Eudora.exe H:\Email", so it reads
it's
.ini file from H:\Email\Eudora.ini. I prepare these files for new users
from a template.
