StarOffice:
-----------------
 "hosting" StarOffice off of a Linux box to various UNIX boxes 
(a sun/solaris host should work pretty much the same way.)

1.  download and install star office on the host machine

2.  make sure that it works on the host machine

3.  install and start the rsh tools.  

 (linux is /usr/sbin/in.rshd ./in.rlogind ./in.rexecd ... not sure about sun)

4.  make sure you can remsh to the host machine WITHOUT it asking for a
password.  this can be done through hosts or however you want to do it. 

then write a script called soffice and put that
script in all the users path on the UNIX machines.  
the soffice script looks like this:

------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

xhost + > /dev/null
HOST=`hostname` 

remsh banana -n /usr/local/bin/remote_startso $HOST 
 
-----------------------------------------
i am doing the hostname to pass the name of the client machine to the
remote_startso script so it knows what to set the display variable. 
"banana" is the name of the linux hosting machine.

on banana, the /usr/local/bin/remote_startso script looks like this:
=========================================
#!/bin/sh
 
HOST=$1
export DISPLAY=$HOST:0
 
/usr/local/bin/office6.0beta/program/soffice
==========================================


this is relatively simple, the real trick is passing what the display
should be set to between the scripts.

SAMBA
=====
see server:/opt/development/samba/lib/smb.conf

you could use SWAT to configure the samba stuff but i like the
smb.conf file better.
