My last word in this thread was obviously burdened by a misunderstanding of
the original poster's question, but still: VNC would be a great way to handle
this. You just set up one desktop per user (networked resources, preferred

So what you are saying, is the roaming profiles are not possible with a
Linux/Samba server instead of a NT server?? Rubbish.. it is possible

yes, actually nt really can do that.
it's called a roaming profile and it's stored on
one of the servers.
but as you might have read from the previous
replies, linux is just as well capable of doing it.

You'd likely use a combination of NFS and NIS for unix workstations, but there
are client tools for samba on unix as well, so its possible.

I have done this with SAMBA and W95 - not with NT workstations
but you can probably do the same on a domain with an NT PDC.
Just locate your profiles onto a share on the SAMBA server.
Be sure to synchronize NT users with SAMBA/UNIX users.
SAMBA can also act as a WINS server btw

Hi folks,
One of the things that a nt server can do for a win based network is store
each user's profile so that no matter what machine the user logs on at they
get the same icons, etc. on the desktop. Could that kind of nt server be
replaced with a linux server? If so, what would do the user
