Samba can handle a mix of NT and 9x profiles very well. I did it at home for
~9 months...it's mostly a matter of tweaking smb.conf and shell scripting,
most of which is pretty well documented, but can be a pain to configure.
You're right though...it's not the right thing to use if you're trying to
admin a NT/9x environment like you would with mmc, srvmgr, usrmgr, etc
etc...

The 'new' version of Samba is supposed to do some *wicked* stuff tho =)

I don't think Samba is going to do much for NT domain administration,
if that's what you're talking about. You'll have better opportunities
for standardization and isolation of multiple accounts on Linux boxes;
can your lab applications be made to work with Linux?
