Shouldn't you apply the same rules for acceptable network use to yourself that you apply to your users? If they can't look at porn; you can't look at porn. (Thanks to net-nanny.) You can turn off the home share by disabling it via smbpasswd -d -d This option specifies that the username following should be disabled in the local smbpasswd file. This is done by writing a 'D' flag into the account control space in the smbpasswd file. Once this is done all attempts to authenticate via SMB using this username will fail. > --Luke > --Computer Science Sysadmin, MSU Bozeman > --admin(AT)cs.montana.edu 994-3931 > -----Original Message----- > From: psyche-list-admin@redhat.com [mailto:psyche-list-admin@redhat.com] > On Behalf Of Buck > Sent: Thursday, January 23, 2003 10:57 PM > To: psyche-list@redhat.com > Subject: RE: adduser -M > > What I have is an office of two groups of users, Processors and > Originators.
