Synchronizing public web server and samba

I have what cannot be too unusual a situation, but I cannot seem to find the "best" solution. I have an internal network behind a firewall and on that network is a Samba server acting as a PDC for a group of workstations. In a classic DMZ outside the firewall behind the router is a web server. The users on the Samba server waant to have individual areas on the www server to post content. I can do the Apache work no problem. What I want is to make it as easy for them to publish as possible, while minimizing the administration and trying to have good security as this is a school. I've considered scp and ssh, but that requires duplicating the accounts and quotas on the web server. That's doable, but hard to automate, AFAIK. If the web server were 100% for internal use, I'd just automount the student directories and share out each one's http-public or whatever. The problem is that I don't necessarily trust file sharing through a fw.
Any ideas? --john -- John McDermott Writer, Educator, Consultant jjm () jkintl com V +1 505/377-6293 F +1 505/377-6313 _______________________________________________ firewall-wizards mailing list firewall-wizards () honor icsalabs com http://honor.icsalabs.com/mailman/listinfo/firewall-wizards
