While ur on the subject of samba, any ideas on howto get a digital camera accessed by a samba domain user? cos i only seem to be able to be shown any pictures from the camera, when im logged on as a local user. Also MSN Messenger wont run unless your domain account has been added as an adminstrator on that machine. This is using SuSE 8.1 and Windows 2000 SP3 reply on russellian@onetel.net.uk plz :) Thanks, Russell

From the look of that samba roadmap a great deal of the features there look useful to me - and looking at the alpha the group mapping feature looks particularly useful as presumably that fixes the problems I've had before where group policies don't work just by putting in a group name in poledit - you have to use default user and have multiple policy files and give each group a different netlogon dir (if people understand what i mean).

Incidently, I use:

[netlogon] path = /someplace/%g

to map "netlogon" to a different directory depending on the group of the user connecting. Works very well. Think that's what you have setup anyway, but if not, then give it a whirl.
