We have a couple of schools that have LTSP servers and thin clients. The students log in as usual using KDM, but are authenticated against an NT PDC (w2k should do the same job). Since KDE does a number of things that smbfs cannot do, they have local home directories, but have a subdirectory which is automatically mounted from the NT file/print server, allowing them to use the same files under both Windows and Linux. This magic is performed using pam_smb for authentication and pam_mount for the directory mounting. The solution is a bit dated now, I think the same functionality can be had using Winbind from the Samba packages. There are others way to do this, I am sure. -- Mvh Ragnar Wisløff ------------------ life is a reach. then you gybe. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: SourceForge Enterprise Edition + IBM + LinuxWorld = Something 2 See! http://www.vasoftware.com _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
