Hi Folks:
I am continuing to work with samba on FC3 for use as a file server etc.
I have set up my server according to the instructions on

Please note that a number of things are commented out -- those were experiments that did not work
The process that I use to create a samba user is as follows
1. Create windows account
2. Have the user change their password
3. Create a samba user using the windows user (I use the system-config-samba
applet)
4. get their password from them to input into the samba user (Yes, I know this
is terrible security procedure, but it's the only way I can get the blasted
thing to work)
5. Create their home directory
6. Create internal folders (like public_html)(once I get it all working right I
will use skel
7. chown to their username and group
8. chmod to 755
There has got to be a better way -- fortunately I am on summer break right now
so there are no students in my network, so thankfully all this is theroretical
right now, but in 2 months I will have 200+ students needing to use the system,
so I have to get this resolved.
The specific problems that I am having are:
1. User authentication against the domain
2. User creation etc - long and convuluded process
3. Profile directory for windows (to store roaming profiles WILL NOT WORK -- even if it has 777 permissions -- I have absolutely no clue on that one)
Comments or suggestions are most welcome
If anyone prefers to work with me directly via phone or IM, that can be
arranged as well
The domain is a Windows 2003 Active Directory Domain
Thanks again for all your help
