Here's 2 quick questions. If I set up samba to be a domain controller. Can clients not participating in the domain still log in? What FTP server do you suggest for internal use that's low-load (5 max clients at a time) and low-maintenance? -Marc

If a client is not participating in the domain, then the client will login to the local system using its local account database. If the client wishes to later connect to the samba server, they will need to authenticate to the server. The user can type their domain credentials when mapping the network drive. If the user's local account credentials are the same as the domain credentials for that user, then the user will not have to authenticate manually. The client system will use the cached credentials from when the user logged in locally.

vsftpd. Very secure and fast. Little to no maintenance.

Excellent, that's exactly what I want.

The only real choice these days for an FTP server, regardless of how often it's used, is vsftpd. http://vsftpd.beasts.org/ -- Dwight A.
