Hi folks. I think i may introduce myself as new linux system admin. I have 150-200 Windows XP PC's on my site connected to internet. I am working on converting them to Linux (Pardus) with RHEL servers. I have setup file, mail, openldap servers. Currently I am trying on using the destktop with central management. I have so far managed LDAP authenticaton (no kerberos), passwordless remote ssh login. Afterwards I will try on mounting the file servers using NFS4 (with kerberos) (samba is also a choice), and then using/creating some scripts to cetrally manage security policies like disabling usb-storage/cd writing on most of the PC's but making exceptions for some others.

I am open for your suggestions.

Welcome to LQ. Sounds like an exciting plan you've got.

Welcome!
Good luck in your job!
