Hi guys, I have a working samba and openldap pdc which is actively being tested. I have a group of users that have specifics tools to use such as oracle client tools (sqlplus etc). I tried to logon as a test user and run the sqlplus but nothing happened, I tried adding this user to the local poweruser group but it produced the same result. Can this be achieved? It works fine if this user is a member of local admin group which I dont want to do because I want to limit what they can do to their workstations. Anyone out here who had a similar experience? Thanks for any help Jan --------------------------------- Yahoo! Messenger - Communicate instantly..."Ping" your friends today! Download Messenger Now

If the software is broken and needs Admin privileges you don't have much of a choice, but you can still apply policies to an account with Admin privileges. And don't forget to write a very nasty letter to the software shop telling them to fix their software their non-compatble software!
What 'doze OS? Can your users use the runas facility? Alternatively, you could add access privledges for the local Power Users group to the binary executeable, or shortcut, which ever is best. Software installs often botch the security settings on shortcuts makeing them only accessible by an Administrator.> Hi guys, I have a working samba and openldap pdc which is actively being tested.
