Arthur,
I dont know the especific details on the implementation of each of those
things I'll say , but you may find some info in the manuals..
So , let's go to the questions...
1) No idea.. Maybe some tweaking on iptables can block it (as long as
you manage to block the first part of the connection , you're fine..
some time ago , our network allowed the user to connect to the kazaa
network , but when you tried to dl any file , you'd get nothing... )
2) You can use NIS and samba to do this job... It doesnt matter if the
machine running samba is the NIS server or the NIS client.. I remmember
seeing something on the samba manual about windows authentication using
samba
3) Depends.. For windows , use samba.. you can easily configure the home
directory to be acessible for each user (I believe it's one of the
samples commented in the samba config file)... For linux , use NFS...
Export the /home directory on the server and mount it on /home in each
of the clients..
