I'm gonna assume it's a typo -'sash' = 'bash'
My Server.. I've unhooked the monitor & keyboard & mouse. No Problems. I use
SSH + Putty to telnet in

Why was question 2 a question in the 1st place then?? :-p

Well... looks like you've solved all your problems... :)

>>1)	Prevent users from logging in at the keyboard of the server.

>Keep the server under lock and key.. :) There might be other
alternative but as far as I go. I go with LOCK.

As soon as I setup a second Linux box, I'll start learning sash and set
the server up to work without a keyboard, mouse or monitor.  After that
I can store my server under my desktop and my Linux workstation/test
machine on the desk.  Any stray that doesn't crawl under the desk would
never know it was there.

As for the business server, I am thinking of building a fan-vented
cabinet to lock it in.  

In Windows, I can restrict users from accessing the computer locally,
but I can't use it without keyboard, mouse and monitor. LOL

>>2)	Each user's private directory has Linux OS (I guess) related

>Create a Shell script to transverse through all the directories and

the files in user directories will be copied from.

I am only dealing with about a maximum of 15 users on two networks.  I
can delete the files as I add the users.  After the initial setup, I'll
just add one user about once or twice a year.  No big problem.  It isn't
a problem to just delete them.

>>3) 	Somewhere in the mix I setup a public directory.  Users have

Something in Samba... I commented out the section and eliminated it.


>>4)	I have a folder and account setup called pcguest.  "bad-user"

Samba has a "bad-user". This is the default (i think) for  the below
reasons

<snip>
# If you want users samba doesn't recognize to be mapped to a guest user
map to guest = bad user <snip>

This means that for users that are not authenticated in your server
(meaning, their username/pass combo is not in Linux's Passwd/smbpasswd
file then they will only have read access (if you grant it to them)

>>5)	What am I not thinking of?

Yes, I thought of that too.  I created a group called "employees" which
has an "employees" folder.  This is shared by all users in case they
need or want to share.

I am weighing the idea of creating a cross-corporate folder, but I have
one user, the owner of the business, likes to hang out at KAZAA and
other areas that reduce security.  I decided to get a separate cable
router and server for each network to share the same cable-modem.  I am
considering adding a Ethernet card to my workstation so I have direct
access to both networks at the same time.  

Thank you for your response.
