login scripts

[palmer_eldritch]

So, my place of work is investing in Macs and I have been tasked with looking after the 'project'. I have an iMac, X server and Pro to mess about with. They're on the (Windows) network. Before I start feeling too smug, though, there are a couple of things I'd like to get set up and can't find much info about them...

 

1) Email - users logging on with their Windows credentials have to enter the server name / username / password manually.

2) Firefox - doesn't take proxy settings from system prefs like what Safari does...

 

I could also mention printers but I think the above two are enough for now. I think what I'm looking at is some sort of login script but like I say, I haven't had much luck finding any help with it. As you've probably worked out if you've read this far, the lovely white and shiny world of Jobs is a new one on me. Anyone in / been in this situation and managed to sort it?

Firefox settings do require a bit of scripting some ideas about what files to look for are here:
