We actually break the > "workgroups/domains" down into departmental groups. workgroups are just groupings of peer hosts for the 'network neighborhood' view. nothing more or less. most importantly, they don't include any 'server' or centralized authentication, thats what Active Directory provides. In Microsoft's Active Directory, you put users and systems in "OU" (Organizational Units), and each OU can have group policies and those policies can specify login scripts, these can do things like map network drives for users. Presumably, Samba's implementation of AD offers a similar facility, but I don't think the domain management tools in Samba are anywhere near as well integrated or full featured as what you get with a Windows Server system. -- john r pierce 37N 122W somewhere on the middle of the left coast
