I will have to see if they are running 2000 or 2003. I want to validate Linux user logins via the AD server. It is the Linux box itself that I want the users to have access to with their AD passwords, not other resources on the network. I cannot track their AD passwords manually, and they are changing all the time. Currently, they have different user/password on the Linux box than on the AD box. I am trying to get away from that.
Understood. In that case you're most likely going to have to get your IT department involved. We tend to get snippy when people try to do things on our network without getting us involved. ;-)
I have just contacted them. Our parent company is very Windows-centric. Even though they use Novell for file access, and have a site license for all Novell products. There are only a very few of us 'crazy' Linux users here. The admins are sympathetic, but prefer not to get involved. I will have to grovel a bit. IIRC, I seem to recall that there was some weirdness about how many times a machine tries to join an AD. When you first attempt to join, some record is made. If you do not join the right way (as Linux would for authentication), there was some record on the AD that had to be deleted before you could try again. Sound familiar? Maybe something like this has happened. Or I am the victim of rumor. Again... -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Kapellgränd 7 P.O.
