Thanks for both replies! I have had a little look about and am not convinced
samba is the way to go. We already use samba at work for file shares and
have used it in the past for print serving but from following up the first
reply it looks like to use samba you would have to set up a samba server on
each pc and tell it all of the usernames and then get this to pass back to
the 2k domain. If this is correct then it is obviously not practical for a
primary let alone us (large secondary + sixth form). If it is not correct
then sorry and I think I need more guidance :-)

It seems to me that this list of for (generally) people that want to get
SUSE Linux working in there school so *someone* must have done this?

I'm not asking for step by step instruction - I'm happy to google or read
URLs - but a couple of pointers would be useful and I will happily feed back
my experiences for others in the same boat and / or the archives.

Cheers in advance.

Darren
