I have no problem with managing the Linux servers, but Samba appears to be a completely unique subject on its own, much like Sendmail, etc. I've read "Using Samba", and about anything else I can get my hands on, including as much of the "Howto" matter on the Samba site. I still have no idea how complex of a setup I need (AD or not, things like that). I don't think we'll be doing things like installing licensed software from the server, mostly just as I stated above.

It'd be great if whatever I end up with has some form of GUI for managing users, groups, and shares, but not necessary. The person managing our Netware will be the one assuming this Samba responsibilty. No Linux experience, so the Gui would make it nice as they learn the ropes of LInux.

Starting over is not off the table, but it'd be nice to get a clue before starting. Seems the more I read, the more confused I get. So much to Samba and the way it can be set up. I'm not much of a Windows server admin, which is perhaps the biggest problem.
