Cylindric's questions

I have an Ubuntu 10.04.4 web server, and I have set it to run byobu on session startup.

To start with it all seems to work fine, for example F9 brings up the menu and F7 starts the copy/paste process.

When I connect to the server using PuTTY from my PC, the problem is that when I press F2 to create a new window, the screen just flashes, and no window is created.

I have tried setting PuTTY to use Xterm R6 in the function keys settings, as per the man page and mailing list, but have also tried using the default ESC[n~.

I need a simple server setup for a client, and have used Ubuntu for them for some years as a simple combined login server and fileserver.

We now need to change to using two separate servers. so was wondering what the process was to have a setup where:

• Users log in to their Win7 and WinVista machines using domain accounts hosted on Ubuntu
• They can map a drive to a share on an Ubuntu server without logging on again

What I think I need is a couple of pointers to the types of tech I'm looking for here - I'm currently only using pure SAMBA for the PDC behaviour.
