I can understand the desire for this. This could go a long
way toward easing NT admins into Samba use. NT shops are
going to _insist_ on complete support of NT admin tools.
Neat idea. It would be very useful.
HOWEVER, I too have very serious concerns about the security
of such an arrangement. I don't know how exactly RPC stuff
like this is our would be secured, but if it can't be done 100%,
don't do it. The only thing worse than not being able to remotely
start and stop services is allowing someone else to remotely start
and stop services.
In summary:
I like it, but it would need some really serious security checks.
Be careful.
