I might of meationed it before and it is a slight angle away from the discussion but at the Karoshi project we are at the moment, creating a Linux Client (Fat) that auths with Samba, running on a Linux Server. Basically the same concept...lol At the moment its all working locked down etc but so far the users have to type in thier password twice. Once for the login and again for thier samba shares. If anyone knows of a solution for this I would be grateful if not we will just try and make it look a bit prettier!!! Also interested in anyone who could test the system on SuSe as at the moment it is a Mandrake based piece of software. We should be testing the system with a few weeks in two school as dual boot first and then once everything seems ok, maybe we could start to take it a little bit further!! Jo
