+<title>Advanced Network Manangement</title>
+
+<para>
+This section attempts to document peripheral issues that are of great importance to network
+administrators who want to improve network resource access control, to automate the user
+environment, and to make their lives a little easier.
+</para>
+
+<sect1>
+<title>Configuring Samba Share Access Controls</title>
+
+<para>
+This section deals with how to configure Samba per share access control restrictions.
+By default samba sets no restrictions on the share itself. Restrictions on the share itself
+can be set on MS Windows NT4/200x/XP shares. This can be a very effective way to limit who can
+connect to a share. In the absence of specific restrictions the default setting is to allow
+the global user <emphasis>Everyone</emphasis> Full Control (ie: Full control, Change and Read).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+At this time Samba does NOT provide a tool for configuring access control setting on the Share
+itself. Samba does have the capacity to store and act on access control settings, but the only
+way to create those settings is to use either the NT4 Server Manager or the Windows 200x MMC for
+Computer Management.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Samba stores the per share access control settings in a file called <filename>share_info.tdb</filename>.
+The location of this file on your system will depend on how samba was compiled. The default location
+for samba's tdb files is under <filename>/usr/local/samba/var</filename>. If the <filename>tdbdump</filename>
+utility has been compiled and installed on your system then you can examine the contents of this file
+by: <filename>tdbdump share_info.tdb</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Share Permissions Management</title>
+
+<para>
+The best tool for the task is platform dependant. Choose the best tool for your environmemt.
+</para>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Windows NT4 Workstation/Server</title>
+<para>
+The tool you need to use to manage share permissions on a Samba server is the NT Server Manager.
+Server Manager is shipped with Windows NT4 Server products but not with Windows NT4 Workstation.
+You can obtain the NT Server Manager for MS Windows NT4 Workstation from Microsoft - see details below.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Instructions:
+</para>
+
+ <para>
+ Launch the NT4 Server Manager, click on the Samba server you want to administer, then from the menu
+ select Computer, then click on the Shared Directories entry.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Now click on the share that you wish to manage, then click on the Properties tab, next click on
+ the Permissions tab. Now you can Add or change access control settings as you wish.
+ </para>
+
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Windows 200x/XP</title>
+
+<para>
+On MS Windows NT4/200x/XP system access control lists on the share itself are set using native
+tools, usually from filemanager. For example, in Windows 200x: right click on the shared folder,
+then select 'Sharing', then click on 'Permissions'. The default Windows NT4/200x permission allows
+<emphasis>Everyone</emphasis> Full Control on the Share.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows 200x and later all comes with a tool called the 'Computer Management' snap-in for the
+Microsoft Management Console (MMC). This tool is located by clicking on <filename>Control Panel ->
+Administrative Tools -> Computer Management</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Instructions:
+</para>
+ <para>
+ After launching the MMC with the Computer Management snap-in, click on the menu item 'Action',
+ select 'Connect to another computer'. If you are not logged onto a domain you will be prompted
+ to enter a domain login user identifier and a password. This will authenticate you to the domain.
+ If you where already logged in with administrative privilidge this step is not offered.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ If the Samba server is not shown in the Select Computer box, then type in the name of the target
+ Samba server in the field 'Name:'. Now click on the [+] next to 'System Tools', then on the [+]
+ next to 'Shared Folders' in the left panel.
+ </para>
+
+ <para>
+ Now in the right panel, double-click on the share you wish to set access control permissions on.
+ Then click on the tab 'Share Permissions'. It is now possible to add access control entities
+ to the shared folder. Do NOT forget to set what type of access (full control, change, read) you
+ wish to assign for each entry.
+ </para>
+
+ <note>
+ <para>
+ Be careful. If you take away all permissions from the Everyone user without removing this user
+ then effectively no user will be able to access the share. This is a result of what is known as
+ ACL precidence. ie: Everyone with NO ACCESS means that MaryK who is part of the group Everyone
+ will have no access even if this user is given explicit full control access.
+ </para>

+
+<sect1>
+<title>Creating and Managing System Policies</title>
+
+<para>
+Under MS Windows platforms, particularly those following the release of MS Windows
+NT4 and MS Windows 95) it is possible to create a type of file that would be placed
+in the NETLOGON share of a domain controller. As the client logs onto the network
+this file is read and the contents initiate changes to the registry of the client
+machine. This file allows changes to be made to those parts of the registry that
+affect users, groups of users, or machines.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+For MS Windows 9x/Me this file must be called <filename>Config.POL</filename> and may
+be generated using a tool called <filename>poledit.exe</filename>, better known as the
+Policy Editor. The policy editor was provided on the Windows 98 installation CD, but
+dissappeared again with the introduction of MS Windows Me (Millenium Edition). From
+comments from MS Windows network administrators it would appear that this tool became
+a part of the MS Windows Me Resource Kit.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+MS Windows NT4 Server products include the <emphasis>System Policy Editor</emphasis>
+under the <filename>Start -> Programs -> Administrative Tools</filename> menu item.
+For MS Windows NT4 and later clients this file must be called <filename>NTConfig.POL</filename>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+New with the introduction of MS Windows 2000 was the Microsoft Management Console
+or MMC. This tool is the new wave in the ever changing landscape of Microsoft
+methods for management of network access and security. Every new Microsoft product
+or technology seems to obsolete the old rules and to introduce newer and more
+complex tools and methods. To Microsoft's credit though, the MMC does appear to
+be a step forward, but improved functionality comes at a great price.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Before embarking on the configuration of network and system policies it is highly
+advisable to read the documentation available from Microsoft's web site regarding
+<ulink url="http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/management/deployment/planguide/prof_policies.asp">
+Implementing Profiles and Policies in Windows NT 4.0 from http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/management/deployment/planguide/prof_policies.asp</ulink> available from Microsoft.
+There are a large number of documents in addition to this old one that should also
+be read and understood. Try searching on the Microsoft web site for "Group Policies".
+</para>
+
+<para>
+What follows is a very discussion with some helpful notes. The information provided
+here is incomplete - you are warned.
+</para>
+
+<sect2>
+<title>Windows 9x/Me Policies</title>
+
+<para>
+You need the Win98 Group Policy Editor to set Group Profiles up under Windows 9x/Me.
+It can be found on the Original full product Win98 installation CD under
+<filename>tools/reskit/netadmin/poledit</filename>. Install this using the
+Add/Remove Programs facility and then click on the 'Have Disk' tab.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Use the Group Policy Editor to create a policy file that specifies the location of
+user profiles and/or the <filename>My Documents</filename> etc. stuff. Then
+save these settings in a file called <filename>Config.POL</filename> that needs to
+be placed in the root of the [NETLOGON] share. If Win98 is configured to log onto
+the Samba Domain, it will automatically read this file and update the Win9x/Me registry
+of the machine as it logs on.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Further details are covered in the Win98 Resource Kit documentation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you do not take the right steps, then every so often Win9x/Me will check the
+integrity of the registry and will restore it's settings from the back-up
+copy of the registry it stores on each Win9x/Me machine. Hence, you will
+occasionally notice things changing back to the original settings.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Install the group policy handler for Win9x to pick up group policies. Look on the
+Win98 CD in <filename>\tools\reskit\netadmin\poledit</filename>.
+Install group policies on a Win9x client by double-clicking
+<filename>grouppol.inf</filename>. Log off and on again a couple of times and see
+if Win98 picks up group policies. Unfortunately this needs to be done on every
+Win9x/Me machine that uses group policies.
+</para>
+
+</sect2>
+<sect2>
+<title>Windows NT4 Style Policy Files</title>
+
+<para>
+To create or edit <filename>ntconfig.pol</filename> you must use the NT Server
+Policy Editor, <command>poledit.exe</command> which is included with NT4 Server
+but <emphasis>not NT Workstation</emphasis>. There is a Policy Editor on a NT4
+Workstation but it is not suitable for creating <emphasis>Domain Policies</emphasis>.
+Further, although the Windows 95 Policy Editor can be installed on an NT4
+Workstation/Server, it will not work with NT clients. However, the files from
+the NT Server will run happily enough on an NT4 Workstation.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You need <filename>poledit.exe, common.adm</filename> and <filename>winnt.adm</filename>.
+It is convenient to put the two *.adm files in the <filename>c:\winnt\inf</filename>
+directory which is where the binary will look for them unless told otherwise. Note also that that
+directory is normally 'hidden'.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The Windows NT policy editor is also included with the Service Pack 3 (and
+later) for Windows NT 4.0. Extract the files using <command>servicepackname /x</command>,
+i.e. that's <command>Nt4sp6ai.exe /x</command> for service pack 6a. The policy editor,
+<command>poledit.exe</command> and the associated template files (*.adm) should
+be extracted as well. It is also possible to downloaded the policy template
+files for Office97 and get a copy of the policy editor. Another possible
+location is with the Zero Administration Kit available for download from Microsoft.
+</para>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Registry Tattoos</title>
+
+ <para>
+ With NT4 style registry based policy changes, a large number of settings are not
+ automatically reversed as the user logs off. Since the settings that were in the
+ NTConfig.POL file were applied to the client machine registry and that apply to the
+ hive key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE are permanent until explicitly reversed. This is known
+ as tattooing. It can have serious consequences down-stream and the administrator must
+ be extremely careful not to lock out the ability to manage the machine at a later date.
+ </para>
+
+
+</sect3>
+</sect2>
+<sect2>
+<title>MS Windows 200x / XP Professional Policies</title>
+
+<para>
+Windows NT4 System policies allows setting of registry parameters specific to
+users, groups and computers (client workstations) that are members of the NT4
+style domain. Such policy file will work with MS Windows 2000 / XP clients also.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+New to MS Windows 2000 Microsoft introduced a new style of group policy that confers
+a superset of capabilities compared with NT4 style policies. Obviously, the tool used
+to create them is different, and the mechanism for implementing them is much changed.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The older NT4 style registry based policies are known as <emphasis>Administrative Templates</emphasis>
+in MS Windows 2000/XP Group Policy Objects (GPOs). The later includes ability to set various security
+configurations, enforce Internet Explorer browser settings, change and redirect aspects of the
+users' desktop (including: the location of <emphasis>My Documents</emphasis> files (directory), as
+well as intrinsics of where menu items will appear in the Start menu). An additional new
+feature is the ability to make available particular software Windows applications to particular
+users and/or groups.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Remember: NT4 policy files are named <filename>NTConfig.POL</filename> and are stored in the root
+of the NETLOGON share on the domain controllers. A Windows NT4 user enters a username, a password
+and selects the domain name to which the logon will attempt to take place. During the logon
+process the client machine reads the NTConfig.POL file from the NETLOGON share on the authenticating
+server, modifies the local registry values according to the settings in this file.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Windows 2K GPOs are very feature rich. They are NOT stored in the NETLOGON share, rather part of
+a Windows 200x policy file is stored in the Active Directory itself and the other part is stored
+in a shared (and replicated) volume called the SYSVOL folder. This folder is present on all Active
+Directory domain controllers. The part that is stored in the Active Directory itself is called the
+group policy container (GPC), and the part that is stored in the replicated share called SYSVOL is
+known as the group policy template (GPT).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+With NT4 clients the policy file is read and executed upon only aas each user log onto the network.
+MS Windows 200x policies are much more complex - GPOs are processed and applied at client machine
+startup (machine specific part) and when the user logs onto the network the user specific part
+is applied. In MS Windows 200x style policy management each machine and/or user may be subject
+to any number of concurently applicable (and applied) policy sets (GPOs). Active Directory allows
+the administrator to also set filters over the policy settings. No such equivalent capability
+exists with NT4 style policy files.
+</para>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Administration of Win2K / XP Policies</title>
+
+<para>
+Instead of using the tool called "The System Policy Editor", commonly called Poledit (from the
+executable name poledit.exe), GPOs are created and managed using a Microsoft Management Console
+(MMC) snap-in as follows:
+</para>
+
+<itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Go to the Windows 200x / XP menu <filename>Start->Programs->Administrative Tools</filename>
+ and select the MMC snap-in called "Active Directory Users and Computers"
+ <para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Select the domain or organizational unit (OU) that you wish to manage, then right click
+ to open the context menu for that object, select the properties item.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Now left click on the Group Policy tab, then left click on the New tab. Type a name
+ for the new policy you will create.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ Now left click on the Edit tab to commence the steps needed to create the GPO.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+</itemizedlist>
+
+<para>
+All policy configuration options are controlled through the use of policy administrative
+templates. These files have a .adm extension, both in NT4 as well as in Windows 200x / XP.
+Beware however, since the .adm files are NOT interchangible across NT4 and Windows 200x.
+The later introduces many new features as well as extended definition capabilities. It is
+well beyond the scope of this documentation to explain how to program .adm files, for that
+the adminsitrator is referred to the Microsoft Windows Resource Kit for your particular
+version of MS Windows.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+The MS Windows 2000 Resource Kit contains a tool called gpolmig.exe. This tool can be used
+to migrate an NT4 NTConfig.POL file into a Windows 200x style GPO. Be VERY careful how you
+use this powerful tool. Please refer to the resource kit manuals for specific usage information.

+</warning>
+
+<para>
+Before discussing how to configure roaming profiles, it is useful to see how
+Windows 9x / Me and Windows NT4/200x clients implement these features.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Windows 9x / Me clients send a NetUserGetInfo request to the server to get the user's
+profiles location. However, the response does not have room for a separate
+profiles location field, only the user's home share. This means that Win9X/Me
+profiles are restricted to being stored in the user's home directory.
+</para>
+
+

+</para>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>NT4/200x User Profiles</title>
+
+<para>
+To support Windowns NT4/200x clients, in the [global] section of smb.conf set the
+following (for example):
+</para>
+
+<para>
+<programlisting>
+ logon path = \\profileserver\profileshare\profilepath\%U\moreprofilepath
+
+ This is typically implemented like:
+
+ logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%u
+
+ where:
+ %L translates to the name of the Samba server
+ %u translates to the user name
+</programlisting>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The default for this option is \\%N\%U\profile, namely \\sambaserver\username\profile.
+The \\N%\%U service is created automatically by the [homes] service. If you are using
+a samba server for the profiles, you _must_ make the share specified in the logon path
+browseable. Please refer to the man page for smb.conf in respect of the different
+symantics of %L and %N, as well as %U and %u.
+</para>
+
+<note>
+<para>
+MS Windows NT/2K clients at times do not disconnect a connection to a server
+between logons. It is recommended to NOT use the <emphasis>homes</emphasis>
+meta-service name as part of the profile share path.
+</para>
+</note>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Windows 9x / Me User Profiles</title>
+
+<para>
+To support Windows 9x / Me clients, you must use the "logon home" parameter. Samba has
+now been fixed so that "net use /home" now works as well, and it, too, relies
+on the "logon home" parameter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+By using the logon home parameter, you are restricted to putting Win9x / Me
+profiles in the user's home directory. But wait! There is a trick you
+can use. If you set the following in the [global] section of your smb.conf file:
+</para>
+<para><programlisting>
+ logon home = \\%L\%U\.profiles
+</programlisting></para>
+
+<para>
+then your Windows 9x / Me clients will dutifully put their clients in a subdirectory
+of your home directory called .profiles (thus making them hidden).
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Not only that, but 'net use/home' will also work, because of a feature in
+Windows 9x / Me. It removes any directory stuff off the end of the home directory area
+and only uses the server and share portion. That is, it looks like you
+specified \\%L\%U for "logon home".
+</para>
+</sect3>
+
+<sect3>
+<title>Mixed Windows 9x / Me and Windows NT4/200x User Profiles</title>
+
+<para>
+You can support profiles for both Win9X and WinNT clients by setting both the
+"logon home" and "logon path" parameters. For example:
+</para>
+
+<para><programlisting>
+ logon home = \\%L\%u\.profiles
+ logon path = \\%L\profiles\%u

+<para>
+When a user first logs in on Windows 9X, the file user.DAT is created,
+as are folders "Start Menu", "Desktop", "Programs" and "Nethood".
+These directories and their contents will be merged with the local
+versions stored in c:\windows\profiles\username on subsequent logins,
+taking the most recent from each. You will need to use the [global]
+options "preserve case = yes", "short preserve case = yes" and
+"case sensitive = no" in order to maintain capital letters in shortcuts
+in any of the profile folders.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The user.DAT file contains all the user's preferences. If you wish to
+enforce a set of preferences, rename their user.DAT file to user.MAN,
+and deny them write access to this file.

+ On the Windows 9x / Me machine, go to Control Panel -> Network ->

+Under Windows 9x / Me Profiles are downloaded from the Primary Logon.
+If you have the Primary Logon as 'Client for Novell Networks', then
+the profiles and logon script will be downloaded from your Novell
+Server. If you have the Primary Logon as 'Windows Logon', then the
+profiles will be loaded from the local machine - a bit against the
+concept of roaming profiles, it would seem!
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You will now find that the Microsoft Networks Login box contains
+[user, password, domain] instead of just [user, password]. Type in
+the samba server's domain name (or any other domain known to exist,
+but bear in mind that the user will be authenticated against this
+domain and profiles downloaded from it, if that domain logon server
+supports it), user name and user's password.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Once the user has been successfully validated, the Windows 9x / Me machine
+will inform you that 'The user has not logged on before' and asks you
+if you wish to save the user's preferences? Select 'yes'.

+<para>
+Once the Windows 9x / Me client comes up with the desktop, you should be able
+to examine the contents of the directory specified in the "logon path"
+on the samba server and verify that the "Desktop", "Start Menu",
+"Programs" and "Nethood" folders have been created.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+These folders will be cached locally on the client, and updated when
+the user logs off (if you haven't made them read-only by then).
+You will find that if the user creates further folders or short-cuts,
+that the client will merge the profile contents downloaded with the
+contents of the profile directory already on the local client, taking
+the newest folders and short-cuts from each set.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you have made the folders / files read-only on the samba server,
+then you will get errors from the Windows 9x / Me machine on logon and logout, as
+it attempts to merge the local and the remote profile. Basically, if
+you have any errors reported by the Windows 9x / Me machine, check the Unix file
+permissions and ownership rights on the profile directory contents,
+on the samba server.

+<title>Windows NT4 Workstation</title>
+
+<para>
+When a user first logs in to a Windows NT Workstation, the profile
+NTuser.DAT is created. The profile location can be now specified
+through the "logon path" parameter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+There is a parameter that is now available for use with NT Profiles:
+"logon drive". This should be set to <filename>H:</filename> or any other drive, and
+should be used in conjunction with the new "logon home" parameter.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The entry for the NT4 profile is a _directory_ not a file. The NT
+help on profiles mentions that a directory is also created with a .PDS
+extension. The user, while logging in, must have write permission to
+create the full profile path (and the folder with the .PDS extension
+for those situations where it might be created.)
+</para>
+
+<para>
+In the profile directory, Windows NT4 creates more folders than Windows 9x / Me.
+It creates "Application Data" and others, as well as "Desktop", "Nethood",
+"Start Menu" and "Programs". The profile itself is stored in a file
+NTuser.DAT. Nothing appears to be stored in the .PDS directory, and
+its purpose is currently unknown.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You can use the System Control Panel to copy a local profile onto
+a samba server (see NT Help on profiles: it is also capable of firing
+up the correct location in the System Control Panel for you). The
+NT Help file also mentions that renaming NTuser.DAT to NTuser.MAN
+turns a profile into a mandatory one.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+The case of the profile is significant. The file must be called
+NTuser.DAT or, for a mandatory profile, NTuser.MAN.

+<title>Sharing Profiles between W9x/Me and NT4/200x/XP workstations</title>
+
+<para>
+Sharing of desktop profiles between Windows versions is NOT recommended.
+Desktop profiles are an evolving phenomenon and profiles for later versions
+of MS Windows clients add features that may interfere with earlier versions
+of MS Windows clients. Probably the more salient reason to NOT mix profiles
+is that when logging off an earlier version of MS Windows the older format
+of profile contents may overwrite information that belongs to the newer
+version resulting in loss of profile information content when that user logs
+on again with the newer version of MS Windows.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you then want to share the same Start Menu / Desktop with W9x/Me, you will
+need to specify a common location for the profiles. The smb.conf parameters
+that need to be common are <emphasis>logon path</emphasis> and
+<emphasis>logon home</emphasis>.
