Recently I got the opportunity to setup a new lab for a small school. The server runs Linux and the workstations run WindowsXP. There are 3 levels of access on the workstations (admin, teacher, and student) and security on the workstations is based on Windows policies applied at logon.

what can i use the samba server for ?
its not like Active Directory where you can set permissions on how their windows should behave, is that what LDAP is used for ?
Samba servers can be standalone windows file sharing servers, windows file sharing servers as part of an NT domain, NT domain controllers, and windows file sharing servers as part of an active directory (native mode) domain. They cannot, be an active directory domain controller, and cannot currently function as part of a non active directory Kerberos realm in combination with an LDAP server. They can however, retrieve user account information from an LDAP server, just not if those accounts have their passwords stored in an MIT Kerberos KDC.
