If I set up a room of Win XP Pro w/SP2 systems, hardened via local policy and gpedit.msc, and add them to a samba domain running from an unpatched, out-of-box install of RHEL 5.0, how will the local XP policies differ from any changes I make to pdbedit on the Samba side? Which takes priority/preference? Thanks. Scott

Which takes priority/preference?Are you referring to password complexity requirements? That is the only area that I can think of where the functionality of XP policies and pdbedit will overlap. If that is that case, then the domain controller settings apply to domain accounts and local settings apply to local accounts. *Michael Heydon - IT Administrator * michaelh@jaswin.com.au <mailto:michaelh@jaswin.com.au>
