There was talk a few weeks ago about the possibility of a Tk-based user management tool that never happened. I'm planning on trying to do this myself. What features were to be in the one that never materialized? What features might people want in it? To begin, the program will only be able to do things that can be done straight through the existing command line tools (net, smbpasswd, etc.). Thoughts, questions, comments? -- Andrew Gaffney System Administrator Skyline Aeronautics, LLC. 776 North Bell Avenue Chesterfield, MO 63005 636-357-1548

Thoughts, questions, comments?You should have a look at ksambaplugin, it is nicely done and gives you many options plus user management. I know it is not the same thing at all, but looking at how things are done in it, one could probably use some routines on config files parsing, for a start. In fact this is the first time I see something so easy and clean even a Windows debutant would-be admin without a clue might be able to use. -- *********************************************** david.morel@amakuru.net OpenPGP public key: http://www.amakuru.net/dmorel.asc 28192ef126bc871757cb7d97f4a44536 -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

webmin www.webmin.com has EXCELLENT samba tools for managing users. it's really nice how it will bind samba users to unix users for you(change unix user, and samba user is changed). I recently moved a small company over to a linux server and webmin was key for them so they could understand how to do things themselves. it even has a swat interface to get things just right. _______________________________________________ No banners.
