[gentoo-user] Re: Is the best solution still NIS+NFS?

[Sven Köhler]

  few years later I setup a environment which shares the /home using
 NFS for the users and the authentication method was NIS. Is this still
 the best solution?
  My current environment is based on LDAP where all services use it. I
 configured PAM+NSSwitch, Postfix, and so on. Now, I want linux client
 workstations be authenticated remotely on my LDAP server and mount the
 users home. What do you recommend?

My university uses LDAP + AFS.

AFS seems quite complicated though ...

I don't quite get your question. CIFS/SMB is what Windows uses for its
network shares. Using samba, Linux can both share and mount* CIFS volumes.

Oh sorry I was laboring under the notion smb disn not include cifs.
My mistake.
