Nothing too clever, but I'm not after a total box solution (e.g. FreeNAS, etc.) as the server is already doing some other functions which won't be affected by fileserving. Webmin is the only thing springing to mind - anything else?SWAT - Samba Web Admin Tool - part of the Samba tools.
Last time I looked at SWAT it didn't have good user management - you had to somehow manually addusers into the standard /etc/passwd files before then using it to add users into the system - and other comments seem to indicate it's not that good anyway...
Both KDE and GNOME provide graphical tools, which might provide another way, particularly if they have X desktops.
This is a small, "headless" server in a small office with a handfull of punters running Windows /something/ (probably Win7 or XP)
I just want to make it marginally easier for them (or me if accessing it remotely) to go in & add / remove a user or share...
So it looks like it's webmin... Cheers, Gordon -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/listfaq
