No, the ADM template files are text files. The policy file is not. You must have POLEDIT.EXE to edit the policy. It reads the ADM files, presents a UI, and produces the binary POL file. > Is there a simple howto that I've missed on this? Thanks in advance for any > tips. Yes, the Windows documentation. O'Reilly has a title: "Windows NT User Administration" you need a book like that. Most of the HOWTOs and what not on the Internet are confusing garbage, or at best only half complete, my advise is to skip them entirely. The *OFFICIAL* Samba documentation does cover this to some extend, beyond that get a book. http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/PolicyMgmt.html -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
