Re 2), yes. You need to create the machine trust account on the domain server but then it is straightforward using the Windows Domain Membership tool in Yast. I did have trouble initially, because I have a dual boot laptop with Windows and OpenSuse 10.3. I had an existing machine account for the laptop when booted into Windows and then tried to get OpenSuse to join the domain using the same hostname. It kept failing telling me that it could not create the trust account (because the machine account already existed). I had to give the laptop a different hostname when booted into Linux, then create a new machine account on the server for the new hostname. After that, it worked fine. I still haven't figured out how to get it to mount the network drives at logon (as opposed to system startup), so that it can map the drives on a per-user basis (a-la Windows). I did ask on the list but got no response so I figured that no-one knows the answer to this. Nevertheless, it is easy to join a Windows domain with 10.3. Hope this helps. -- ====================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV [EMAIL PROTECTED] ====================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
