Re: [Samba] Mount logon Home dir on Linux (CTM)
So the question for this list would be: how can I query a Windows NT PDC (no ldap) about a user's home directory. That script may need to have an administrator password to be able to query the PDC. I found the answer to this one. It should be pretty easy with a few lines of Perl. Tthis is how you can use rpcclient to find out: $ rpcclient -W DomainName -U AnyUserName%ThatUsersPassword -I 192.168.1.x -c "queryuser $USER_RID" ServerName This will output info like Home Drive : Dir Drive : Profile Path: Logon Script: etc. To get the $USER_RID which you need for that query, first do: $ rpcclient -W DomainName -U AnyUserName%ThatUsersPassword -I 192.168.1.x -c "lookupnames $USER_NAME" ServerName it will tell you something like this ... $USER_NAME S-1-5-21-235741621-998855438-184960113-1063 (User: 1) The $USER_RID you want is 1063. To get it with Perl, it would look something like my ($USER_RID) = /.*-(\d+)/; (once you have the right output line in $_) Once you know where the user's home is, you can mount it through nfs, and authentication should be automatic if the Linux side of things is configured correctly. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
Re: [Samba] Mount logon Home dir on Linux (CTM)
I was thinking... if nothing else woks, I will just create a default kde desktop shortcut pointing to smb:\\MY_SAMBA_SERVER\username... That i think I can do, should be easy! :) Is there a way to at least make Konqueror stop asking the user and password and use the same user and password that was used to log in???

[Samba] Mount logon Home dir on Linux (CTM)
I will try to explian it better this time. I have a Windows NT 4.0 Server, that is the PDC on my network. I also have a FC3 Samba 3 server that is the file server, where most of logon home dirs are stored. In the NT PDC i set up most users to map Z: drive to \\MY_SAMBA_SERVER\username In the Win XP workstations everithing is wrking realy fine. Now i want to set up some Linux Fedora Core 4 Workstations too. I already installed the FC4, samba and winbind, everithing working fine too. I can log in in linux using my NT password. Just what I need now is to mount the logon home dir to the users who log in in the linux workstation. I didnt found out reading the docs and looking in the internet how can I do it (and IF I can). I can run a logon script that mounts \\MY_SAMBA_SERVER\username using smbmount, but that has 2 problems: firist, it will ask the password, but how i can make the script know the password? And the second problem: some users dont have the logon home dir in the MY_SAMBA_SERVER. So I think probably there is a better way to do it, maybe using pam.d, i dont know. Anyone could help me on that? Thanks for any help, Cristian T.
