It appears that at this point in time, what you want to do is not supported by Samba itself. For that matter, Windows NT/2000 Server does not have a provision for this. You can setup a list of workstations that a user is allowed to login from on a Windows NT/2000 Server - but you cannot restrict concurrent logons from those workstations. Netware is the only PC-based NOS that I know of that has a provision for doing that. Anyway, the consensus was that this is one of several features that should be focused on after the impending Samba 3.0 release is complete. -- /------------------------------------------------- | Jim Morris | Email: jmorris@rtc-group.com | | AIM: JFM2001 \-------------------------------------------------
