I think it's difficult to guarantee that a inexperienced user will copy is downloaded files, documents, or whatever, to a H:\ share instead of is handy desktop. Other problem is the files of Outlook or Thunderbird that can get big. The goal is to avoid email configuration each time the user changes to another workstation, so I can't configure the email client to store the files locally on the workstation. Could someone give me some lights in how I can circumvent this problem? BOFH's Guide to Electrified Keyboards: 101 Tips and tricks to train your users. Cheers, TMS III P.S. for email imap is a good idea.

[Samba] ShadowLastChange does not update
Hi Everyone, I have a Samba 3.0.34 PDC setup with OpenLDAP 2.3.43 as backend on a Gentoo server. I also use LDAP for IMAP, SMTP and proxy authentication. For some reason the shadowLastChange does not update when a user changes his/her password from Windows XP. The samba and unix passwords and also the samba "Password must change field" does change as required, it is only the ShadowLastChange that does not update. It does update when I run smbldap-passwd from command line and also through LDAP Account Manager. This causes the unix password on LDAP to expire before the Samba password has expired and then the user can not use his email or internet connection. I have tried different combinations of the passwd settings in smb.conf, including: Only: ldap password sync = yes Also tried: ldap password sync = yes passwd program = /usr/sbin/smbldap-passwd -u %u passwd chat = *New*password* %n\n *Re*ype*new*password* %n\n \ I also created my own script which calls smbldap-passwd and then manually updates ShadowLastChange. This worked fine from the command line but did not seem to work from Windows XP. I have also given full access to all users on LDAP in case it was a permissions problem, but to no avail... I have been battling with this problem for the last month. Hope someone can give me some pointers. Please let me know if i need to post any other info...
