Hi all,

I have a home network with five hard wired computers, one wireless, and another wireless coming soon. I'd love to be able to let users log on to whatever machine they want and have access to centrally stored files - just like at work. Also, I'd like centrally managed passwords so I can change things once and have it affect all PCs.

I think this means I need a directory server - but the only ones I can find are: expensive, complex to install and maintain, and intended to support thousands of users.

Does anyone know of something more suited to a small home or business network?

Or maybe there's another way to do this than a directory server?

Thanks
