color:#1F497D">This is essentially the core of the problem - the domain admin is capable of assuming control of an account that does have access. The D.O.D. recommended
one of two solutions - remove his DA credentials (not a chance due to his responsibilities and duties) or find a way to control access that is not affected by AD. I have looked at several apps that claim they can control access to folders by adding a second
authentication, but they are all worthless when you access from a network share (they either completely block or completely allow due to issues with AD interaction) - none of them have worked. SAMBA doesn't have to be bound to AD and remote access to the server
can be better controlled (IMHO) by simply not releasing information. The D.O.D. rep acknowledged that a Linux solution would be recognized by them provided that we can demonstrate the security.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

access is that one of our Domain Admins is a foreign national - if we were to place a 'deny access' on the folder, he could remove it if he wished - and getting rid of AD or Windows is not an option ATM, but it is still in process.<o:p></o:p></p>
