I setup a winbind box that did RID mapping from AD and exported those into NIS maps, sans passwords. I then setup Kerberos on all boxes to authenticate against AD, samba managed the keytab files. With this I got auto UID/GID generation, my AD users and groups automatically appear and disappear from the NIS maps and I can use those maps for multiple platforms. Simple, yet effective. -Ross _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
