Best Regards, Adil There is one "gotcha" to look out for: The linux time has to be extremely close to the AD domain controller. if it isn't, linux can't join or authenticate. That out of the way, authconfig-tui is VERY handy... It takes the drudgery out the process. I used to do it by editing a bunch file files, running command line programs and waving dead chickens over sacrificial animals. The utility is faster, easier and less messy. Look into a pam plugin called oddjob. It does the automounting of network shares. yum search oddjob.

It wouldn't take much to just copy the epel cfg to a new one and customize the repositories to use the SL (or better, local mirror) ones. I keep a custom cfg anyway so I can set the 'dist' value to reflect that I built the packages and they aren't from another repository when deployed. -Mark
