And of course it > need to be stable :-) If you want to implement something akin to AD (including group policy), you want a fairly big budget. At present the best way to implement AD capabilities is to use Windows Server 2003. The big budget would be to implement equivalent functionality. You will need schemas for LDAP, plus an immense GUI, and probably more. And if you do it, then quite some time to persuade people that matter that what you have is better than what MS has. Implementing a workgroup is fairly simple, and enough for many small offices. See www.samba.org for details on what Samba can do. By all means have a look at Samba 4, but heed the warnings. It will help you understand what Samba 3 does not do.
