Greetings -
This may be a little off-topic here so if someone wants to point me to a more appropriate mailing list I would appreciate it.
I administer the network for my small company and am preparing to install a new server in the next month or so. It will be running CentOS 6 and function primarily as a Samba file server to 10 Windows workstations (XP, Vista, 7). It will also host our OpenVPN server and possibly our FTP server; however I am hoping to move our FTP server to a gateway box when the new server is installed.
Have you looked at the ClearOS distribution? It comes up with a simple web interface to manage all of this with authentication done with a pre-configured LDAP setup. I think LDAP replication is slated for the next version - which is waiting for CentOS 6 for it's components but you'd only need that if you have several different servers and want changes to propagate across them.
