samba - May 2004 - films on Desktops and roaming profiles

Hi,

I'd like to ask you what do you limit Desktops syncing in case users 
put large files on them, e.g. films.

Downloading / uploading such large files can generate lots of
unnecessary traffic. Is there any kind of filtering possible ?
Other solutions ?

Cheers,

Hiya,
 
If these are NT4, Win2K or XP machines you can use the NT4 policy editor to
limit the size of the profile. Once you have created the policy file you just
need to put it in the netlogon share and all should work. I believe there are
detailed notes in the Samba Howto collection and probably the example docs by
John T.

Could you please elaborate ?

The only thing I could find is the windows "Slow network" setting
supposed to disable network share checkout in case of slow network,
timeout, etc. There is a registry setting enabling enforcing "slow
network" for good.

Samba has got "csc policy", but frankly, I do not quite get how to use
it. Could provide some clue in here ?

Thanks,
