Hello, This is my first time delving into non 2.2 samba, and attempting to develop a single authentication solution for windows and unix machines. Currently, we use nis for the unix machines (solaris 2.6-2.8, irix 6.5, linux, motorola), and there is NO PDC for windows. samba servers use nis and use unencrypted passwords for authentication.
What I would like to do, is begin preparing for an upgrade to samba 3.0 (when it is production), as the company i work for, is implementing a windows 2000 initiative to all the satellite offices.. I would like, if possible, to provide a samba solution as opposed to windows 2000. With an ldap backend, can samba and Unix share the same user/passwords? or is there different schema/encryption methods for the two? I had planned on getting PADL's LDAP->NIS gateway for the older unixes that do not have direct LDAP authentication capabilities.
