Check the samba site. There is a 'Samba By Example' that I use regularly for my job. There are tons of real world examples for different scenarios that may help. I can't recall a specific example that talks about migrating the existing Windows Server to Samba, but there is a good chapter on a network with 2000 users and how to handle it. You might find something helpful in that book. As a side note, are you sure you want to use something as dynamic as Fedora for a network of this size? Sounds like the server(s) should maybe run RHEL and the workstations Fedora? But that's just me. -- -=/>Thom
