Hi Bob, 

When integrating WTS and Metaframe 1.8 in a UNIX environment you should
expect the following features:

1) Ability to use your existing NIS UNIX account database and passwords
2) Ability to mount the UNIX home directory as a drive letter in UNIX
3) Ability to launch Windows sessions via X from your UNIX desktop
easily

We have found the best way to provide a "lock down" without getting too
complicated is to use Tricerat Desktop Manager. It is a product that
gives you "drag and drop" control of users desktop and start menu
contents. They also have a "drag and drop" utility for assigning
printers to users. You can see these, and the other utilities, at
www.tricerat.com
