I want to set up a series of folders such as Cad1, Cad2 and Cad3 that will be set up as shares in samba. These will be used for three classes. And there's an average of 30 students per class. Access to the folders will be done by mapping them onto win98/2k clients.
Can I just create Linux user accounts without creating home and personal groups. The remote users will never know about home directories or such. In User Manager that comes with LM. It gives the options, all set by default to create home directory, personal group and copy skeleton. I can't see any point in creating hundreds of home's when they will never be used !
