Hello everybody,

For the printer server scenario (see below) few things
are yet not clear.In this case 3 hosts will
communicate with each other:(Client machine will send
request for printer server login to MACS server)

1]MACS server
2]Printer Server (A Linux host)
3]Local user desktop(A Windows machine which will act
as client in this case)

What to install on Printer server is clear.
I need help regarding client machine (A windows
desktop) configuration :
1] what should be installed on the client(A Windows
desktop) and where?(As per my understanding I need to
use 'lia' here!!)
2] What should the script exactly do?
   Which language should I use to write script?
   Where should I put this script in Client Machine?
   (Note:Client machines logon password/username will 
   be different than printer server accounts          
    password/username)
3]Should I install MACS with --enable-pam option if
MACS server is same as Printer(samba) server ?

Thank's
Swapnil
