A good alternative to the NT is keeping Windows 95 on the workstations and
installing Samba on the FreeBSD box.  Set the '95 machines up to log into the
NT domain, and use the Windows 95 registry tools (on the cd) to require NT
validation.  This setup requires that a person have an account on the FreeBSD
box in order to use the Windows 95 machines.  As an added bonus, the Samba
domain logon daemon checks passwords against /etc/passwd on the FreeBSD
machine.  (Only one password required for Win 95 access and telnet access to
FreeBSD)
I've been using this setup for a while, and it works well.  It will not,
however, keep a determined individual from successfully getting into a win 95
machine.  (through safe mode, etc)
As far as quotas on printing, Samba will also act as a print server (in
addition to file services and domain logins).  I don't know if there is
direct support for quotas or not, but someone else may have a better answer
in that area.
