I might have just about talked my boss into replacing our current WindowsNT (soon to be Win2003) primary file server with an OpenBSD server. Unfortunately, since most of our work is done using Access databases (and other Microsoft Office products) we will have to continue using Windows systems for our desktop systems (for now). This is a mix of Win98 and WinXP systems. The File server will have to act as a primary domain controller on a windows network handling logins and permissions for various shares around the network and share a couple network printers. I would also like to use an encrypted file system on which to store important data that needs to be protected (in case of theft etc).
Does anyone on the list have this sort of setup running? Are there any pitfalls that I should look out for or any advice that would make this easier? More importantly, does this sound like a do-able project or am I jumping into a pile of snakes? This project is all part of my devious plan to gradually convert to an all (or at least mostly) OpenBSD environment here at work (psst... don't tell my boss). If this pans out, I think replacing our SQL server with MySQL on an OpenBSD box will be the next big conquest. :) stuart [EMAIL PROTECTED]
