Hi Leonard, Many thanks, I will indeed look at the unix password sync option!
However, as well as Windows networking the machines also handle Email for the company, and as such I still have the problem of syncing Linux users across the WAN. (unless I'm seriously missing a part of Samba, always possible!) Is there any way of syncing the Linux user databases, other than copying the /etc/passwd files from the master to all the clients!! :) Which I cannot try really as the users have different UIDs on each Server, or there are at least some differences.... but would this work in theory, if I was setting it all back up again from scratch? I suppose I'm looking for the Linux equivalent of NT trust relationships, if there such a thing! Anyway, thanks for progressing me a stage!
