Hi folks :-) I managed to fix my previous problems [*] (the "ftp" guest account didn't exist on that machine so everything from that point was screwed) and now authenticating and roaming profiles work OK :-) [*] http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/msg74586.html Now I'd like to know whether it is possible to set some "desktop restrictions" as on Win9x/NT4 machines with poledit.exe (policy editor). Do I need to set up some 'active directory' on Samba 3? Is it that possible? Any info/links on this *really* appreciated! :-) thanks!! -- Window$ Macht Frei!
