Hiya.
I'm in the middle of (re)developing a authentication system for an
internet cafe here in Sydney.
By complete accident I discovered the PDB MySQL plugin for samba
yesterday in CVS - amazing. Haven't tried this yet (waiting for samba
to compile on a really slow machine, heh) but it looks great.
Is anybody using this? Would you recommend it for use in a heavy use
type environment?
I've noticed in the README for this there's identifiers for "logoff
time" and "kickoff time". Hmm. Basically, the clients are Windows XP
machines, and previously I had written a Windows client / UNIX server
infastructure to do this logging off.
Can samba actually "kick" users off after a certain amount of time?
Wow.
If it can, someone let me know how :)
