%UNIPLEX %TO drbrowns@ls.wustl.edu %CC questions@freebsd.org %FROM bell %SYSTEM sysV88 %SUBJECT Re: FreeBSD & Windows %VERIFY y %REGISTERED y %DATE 26/03/98 15:38 %REFERENCE 10517 A good alternative to the NT is keeping Windows 95 on the workstations and installing Samba on the FreeBSD box. Set the '95 machines up to log into the NT domain, and use the Windows 95 registry tools (on the cd) to require NT validation. This setup requires that a person have an account on the FreeBSD box in order to use the Windows 95 machines. As an added bonus, the Samba domain logon daemon checks passwords against /etc/passwd on the FreeBSD machine. (Only one password required for Win 95 access and telnet access to FreeBSD) I've been using this setup for a while, and it works well. It will not, however, keep a determined individual from successfully getting into a win 95 machine. (through safe mode, etc) As far as quotas on printing, Samba will also act as a print server (in addition to file services and domain logins). I don't know if there is direct support for quotas or not, but someone else may have a better answer in that area.
