Hi all, to raise the bug vs success ratio i'd like to express my gratitude to all samba members and those who, though not in-core developers, generously supported noobs like me on this mail list.
I've set up an environment two months ago and it has run without glitches or tweaks since then. Now as misusing my family as beta testers has worked out so nicely i will deploy an identical setup in the institute i'm working for. Samba and OpenLDAP in pair function as single-sign-on provider. All information (passwords, users, mappings etc) is stored in ldap under strict permission policies - all within ldap except the password to access ldap. :) Authentication is handled centrally through samba. Clients are debian woody and windows xp machines joined into the domain. The network is heterogenous itself with some machines sitting on wireless lan. Roaming profiles perform great with only one warning being spit out on the winxp machines: 'cannot find active directory controller' or similar ;) Unix clients currently suck their uid/gid information directly from ldap as i'm still relying upon NFS for home directory access. I've setup auto-mount smb/cifs home dirs through pam_mount too, however smbfs/cifs seem far from usable in respect of unix specialties such as absolute symbolic links. Has anythind happened in this direction recently? This would definitively be the dot on the i. big thanks from here, Marcus -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
