I want to have my linux workstations (20-30 of them) authenticate against
the domain and automount user home directories into /home/username. (rather
like a NIS domain does for our Solaris network).
The howtos I am reading on this topic seem to refer to linux and windows
clients
talking to samba servers.
I do have one linux server on the domain but the users home shares (for
normal Windows sessions) are on a W2K fileserver and to get the linux server
authenticating for users web spaces I have used pam_smd and the users are
all known to the linux server because they have accounts on it.
Where do I go for help if I want Linux workstations (clients) to
authenticate
against windows 2000 servers/domains and automount windows shares.
In this case they do not have accounts on the workstation for all the users.
Specifically.
1) Do I need to change the way kerberos runs on the W2K server?
2) Do I need to have each linux client running samaba or just the smb
client software.
3) Do I have to get the W2K server to genereate a ticket which I then
transfer to the client. (The MS Tech Net source I have read seems to
indicate this!)
4) I assume that winbind will allow me to avoid having buckets of
mirror accounts set up on the linux clients. I do this for the
intranet server where I use pam_smb to authenticate but I realise that
this is a more sophisticated problem.
I have read a lots of docs so far but my experiments do not seem to be
helping me make much progress. Please do not advise me to put MS NFS
services onto the W2K servers.
