Re: [ilugd]: Linux and Windows 2000 interoperability

[Anand Shankar]

Use winbind which comes with the Standard Samba package in RH73. You may 
also take the latest Samba update for RH73. You can make your Linux 
Boxes members of the Active Directory Domain on the Win2k Server.  You 
can even test that the Active Directory server recognises your machine. 
Obviously it will require you to change the necessary PAM files for 
authentication purposes. It will work this far without requiring any 
modifications in the Active Directory setup.

Further, you are required to set anonymous read permissions in the 
Active Directory. This permission is set to all authenticated users by 
default. My exercise to get the Linux machine authenticated stopped at 
the previous paragraph step. I am sincerely interested to know the 
outcome at your place.

There was yet another package, which I am forgetting. It tried to do 
some schema modification to achieve this. I could not succeed there.

Dear all,

  I want to implement RH 7.3 Valahala clients in a lab of our college 
where about 2500 students study. But a problem, I do not want to 
create as many user accounts per machine. Since I have windows 2000 
Server as Domain controller and users are autheticated from there. Can 
I use same domain controller for authentication on Linux machines? If 
yes , how? Kindly point me to a knowledge source.

Thnx in anticipation

With warmest Regards
