Re: [Samba] Samba as a domain controller for Linux workstations?
you dont need samba. in this case use a ldap for authentification and mount the homes of each users per nfs. we use the smbldap tools from idealix to manage users in ldap. i have it in our firm so and it works quit nice. hope that helps ;-) Am Montag, 29.

I'm thinking of benefits like roaming profiles, managing printers etc. Or perhaps for Linux there are better choices than Samba, when it comes to the office / school use (many users, many classrooms, many workstations etc.)? -- Tomek http://wpkg.org pgpnTIezhtZUN.pgp Description: PGP signature -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Samba as a domain controller for Linux workstations?
no, you get roaming profiles with nfs. just add a line in /etc/fstab for each client. or you can do it with smb_mount module from pam with ldap access. hm, about how many clients are we speaking? if you decide a terminal solution you should be thinking of a good network and that the servers can push the complete traffic from the applications.

:-) or automount with nis in combination with ldap and autofs maps things ;) Am Montag, 29.

Current LINUX desktop environments don't much lend themselves to management.
