Thanks I'll give it a read.

What we'd hoped to do with the server is to use it to control what the 
students have access to in the way of settings etc but to hold the homes 
dir's on the Samba / LDAP box.

Could all this be done on the Samba box, have we baught the server when 
we didn't really need to ??
