I guess you are doing this to get around the problem of the logoff not
completing properly and leaving connections open to the server which
interfere with the next user logging on.

except I would use webkit in preference to mod_python...

I think it is all documented fairly well after the reading I have done
in the last couple of days.  My trouble is that I have very limited
experience with windows servers (NT4 only).  Much of the documentation
assumes you are already familiar with the concepts from windows
installations....

Seeing you ask.... :)

It would be helpful if there was a repository somewhere where people
could post setups, smb.conf's, scripts, etc.  Does anyone know of such a
place?
