how can i set policies* over users in redhat linux 9
*as in windows 2003 server we have account policies, user rights assignment and security policies
and if i cannot set policies so why have they given the option of Samba PDC and NIS server?
please tell me how to set policies?

I'm not really sure what you are asking?

Is there any reason why you are using Redhat 9? This is very old and unsupported now. I strongly recommend you upgrade to a more recent version of Linux, such as Fedora Core 6 (Successor to Redhat Community distros).

Linux has a root (administrator) user, and normal users. I don't know if this is what you want, but have a look at sudo, which allows non-root commands to run some commands with root privileges.
