[nflug] Samba Authentication & User Accounts

[Robert Wolfe]

Hi all!

I am in the process of implementing a Samba solution to replace our aging 
Windows 2000 Server file server (for more space, reliability and backup 
purposes).  However, on of the design specifications is that the users should 
not have any shell access to the machine, nor must they have user home 
directories.  How would I begin to go about setting up the Samba server in 
this manner and how would I need to go about controlling which people are in 
what groups and what groups have access to what folders?

Any help or a starting point on this would be greatly appreciated.
