Hello,
We're looking at implementing Samba in our PC-rooms (500 PC's).
I have set up an Samba authentication server (with 20.000 students) and
Samba server with several shares.
These questions still rise:
* A student can only have access to one computer. He should not be able
to login
on a second computer with the same account. Up till now I wasn't able
to realise
this, it's still possible for someone to login on several pc's with
the same account. There
is no option in Samba like 'number of logins = '. Does anyone know of
another way to
realise this?
* Our pc-rooms are being maintained by operators. Sometimes they need to
change
the samba-configuration (for special sessions). The problem is that
when they would
like to use SWAT, they need the root account of the server. And that's
something that
I don't want to give away. Does anyone know whether it's possible to
use SWAT with
a user account instead of the root account? I've tried several things
(changing toe owner and group
permissions), but when I want to stop/start the daemons I get "must
have uid 0".
Any information would be appreciated (I prefer mail),
Kind regards,
