Do I need LDAP or just Samba??

[Jim Christiansen]

Thank you Les for your help.  I'm grateful.

I'm a full-time teacher and also run the DNS, firewalls, webpage and the
ltsp servers and 100 clients.  I'm just comfortably busy (whine) but
anything new sure adds to the pile it seems!

I wonder for convenience if I can run an XP Pro in a virtual box for my
testing.  This way I wouldn't have to mess with any other hardware.

Thanks,

Jim
