Samba User management

Hi,
I have a samba 3 configured as PDC with smbldap-tools and of course an OpenLdap.
Everything seems to work correctly, by adding manually the users ( on win 2000 clients), using the smbldap_tools.
Is there a way to manage samba (and unix) users via a win2000 client ?

I am looking for a graphical interface as active directory, for managing users, groups, accounts quotas and policies from a client ...

thanks for helping me.

You can use the NT 4 usermgr tool not sure how much you can do with in terms of quotas etc. but you can create users and change passwords

Well, thanks

I have already tested usrmgr, and it works greatly. I am also using poledit as policies editor (with few adm as security strategies) and also a java applet called LdapBrowser, to navigate into the Ldap tree.

But I am looking for an administration tool like the one used by the SambaEdu 3 distribution. This one is a compilation of samba, ldap administration tools.

thanks for reply if u have some ideas.

for me usrmgr.exe doesn't work... it says
the stub received bad data
and i've to connect in low speed
then if i do
add user
returns another error that i can't translate (something about a device disconnected!)

i think that microsoft use a library called LibRandomError

however, can you post a working configuration (smb.conf + slapd.conf) which make usrmgr work??? it's about a week that i'd like to use it, but doesn't work...
