Hi John, Basically this is what I would like to happen: I have a Windows 2003 Active Directory server and a Fedora Linux server. I have set up Samba on the Fedora server. I would like for users to be able to map a Samba share using their login and password from Active Directory.
I have read a lot of posts regarding kerberos, pam and samba, but most of them involved creating new users on active directory and installing Unix services on the windows server. I would like to not have to make any changes to the active directory server, just changes to the linux server. Any ideas?
