    Samba Group Policies

    http://freshmeat.net/projects/karoshi/
    Karoshi is a point and click server setup for secondary schools running Mandrake Linux 10 on the servers and Windows 2000/XP on the clients. It provides a set of point and click server configurations for a primary domain controller, a file server for students' work, a print server with Web-based queue management, and a filtering and monitoring Internet proxy server.

    See http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf chapter 6. There is an example of how to configure a desktop profile with all policies enabled in a manner fully compatible with XPP and 2KP.

    Vintela Group Policy (VGP) is a component to Vintela's Authentication Services (VAS) software. VAS 2.6, which is available today, is licensed per server and per Unix-enabled accounts in Active Directory. It costs $200 per server and starts at $25 per user account in a 10-user pack. VGP 1.0 pricing starts at $50 per server and $5 per user.

    A company called Nitrobit has a group policy implementation that works in conjunction with Samba and any LDAP server (though they use OpenLDAP in their examples). Editing is done using the MMC, policies are stored in the directory, and applied with a client app.

    Our new software is now building the bridge: Microsoft Group Policy, which worked solely in the Microsoft Active Directory, can now be used within samba domains. With the help of group policies administrators can define their clients environment exactly the way it's needed for their work - and they can work with tools they know already from the Windows-world.

    The nitrobit group policy-system consists of a client component which adapts the group policies to the single pc and an editor-environment to manage the complete group-policy-system.

    The nitrobit group policy system can be used in two configurations. The basis configuration needs solely a network directory. The extended configuration, which enables software distribution, additionally requires an LDAP-Server. Different LDAP-Servers are being supported, one of them is the free Open LDAP-Server.
