Remote access service

[James Egan]

My FreeBSD machine is running samba 1.9.17p4 on an NT domain.

Until recently I had a Win95 dial-in server giving remote access to the NT
domain for certain users so when a remote win95 user logged on he would get
access to his files in the usual windows graphical way.

I would like to give these users the same sort of access but getting my
FreeBSD box to answer the phone.

Is it possible for Samba to transparently forward such a logon request to
the NT domain controller for validation and give these users their usual
graphical interface?

And also if the remote user does not have a valid account on the NT domain
to pass the logon request to another unix service (eg. pppd) which can
restrict whoever to (say) a web server running in a limited space on the
FreeBSD box?

Thanks

Jim Egan.
