I am in the process of studying how Linux can be setup for a similar client/server interaction as windows, mainly user authentication.
In win-world the interaction is that at the client, the user logs into the server and gets permissions etc from there. they can then use the client and access server resources.
I would like to do something similar with Linux. using a central server for user authentication and permissions. and (possibly) using that for mapping samba shares, NSF Shares,Unix/Samba printers etc.
I'm not sure if this is possible with linux, I would like to try for it though.
