We require a talented developer to develop a PHP based web console to manage and configure samba.
It must be delivered in a simple, package for deployment (prefer .deb).
It must have:
1) A configuration wizard to allow configuration of samba as a PDC, BDC (of existing Samba PDC) or member server
2) It must use LDAP as the backend, and include configuration of OPENLDAP for replication as part of config. interface
3) User, and Group management gui, allowing changes of important user attributes like Home drive, login hours etc...
4) Share management gui - allowing for the config of samba shares and management of permissions
On running the wizard, samba should be ready to go... and must support ACLs on shares, and files
The winner of this project will get ongoing work as this is the first phase.
The preferred architecture is using MYSQL as the DB Backend to store the config, then have some code to generate the necessary [login to view URL] file, although we are open to suggestions.
GUI must work elegantly, and be very simple to use. We have a graphic designer resource to assist with this.
