I am not sure if I have asked this or not so please forgive any duplication.
I am about to embark on adding my Linux box to my AD domain at home so that it will authenticate to it and essentially be used like a Windows client would. I am to understand that Open Likewise is probably one of the easiest & better ways to do this & luckily enough there is an article on it in issue 121 of Linux Format.
I currently use Roaming Profiles & storage on the server for the Windows clients so that everything is centralized & can be backed up more effectively. The map to the profiles folder & the startup script are both located in the AD user (i.e. Me).
What I would like to do is emulate the same thing & have the Linux box store its profile on the server/storage as well so that regardless of what box is connected, it would pull the same profile. From what I have read I would need to create a "Profile-Linux" folder to store that information in. As per the profile/startup information in AD listed above, will this create an y havoc for the Linux box?
I realize there may be an issue with permissions, but it would stand to reason that if I am authenticating to AD then the permissions should be set by the folder the information is saved to...but I could be wrong.
I am also hoping there would be a way to sync some common information (i.e. Bookmarks, Settings, IMAP/e-mail folders, etc.) so that regardless of the platform I would be able to access the same information on anything, without having to recreate the wheel. I know this may be a pipe dream but, hopefully can happen.
I am also wanting to set-up a shared Home Drive accessible btwn a windows, Linux & Mac box. It would contain documents, etc. similar to any "My Documents" type folder. Any hints on this?
Any help, suggestions or otherwise would be welcome. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
