Samba/Ubuntu in a windows network OR How to break your network in 3 easy steps....

[Sean Parsons]

	Thank You! I am actively searching for just this solution,
unfortunately most vendors are so proud of their offering they want to
include a $30K price tag with it as well for both my sites. I will look into
your suggestion.

Webmin is handy, however something to look at for file server (Linux

well as a file server.
