Re: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Samba with winbind

I'd be really interested in the steps you had to take to get this
especially any .conf .rc or other files had to be manually tweaked. Yep, I had to download samba-2.2.3a.tar.gz from samba.org, compile with various switches to turn on winbind, edit /etc/rc.d/smb to start winbind, and then edit
working - the pam files to make winbind users visable.
OK - which switches? And (of course) what changes in ../smb And what changes to pam files? Where are they in SUSE? (You can assume from this that I don't know much - although I do now know a lot more than I used to about LINUX!) <snipped>
Have you tried getting the main linux logon to be authenticated by the NT domain?
Not yet, but KDE now shows all domain users at the logon screen!
I will be documenting what I did over the next week or so, Ill send you a copy if you want.
Definately! A 'Noddy' guide would be most useful. TIA -- Alan Davies Head of Computing Birkenhead School
Folks, In the hope that there are no stupid questions, I'll ask this... RedHat and SuSE handle groups very differently right? The whole RedHat 'each user, different primary group' thing. I've set up a LTSP server with RedHat 7.2. Can anyone see any difficulties in the RH box authenticating from a SuSE NIS server? On reflection, I would have set up the LTSP on SuSE. Then I intend to NFS map the RedHat box's /home to the SuSE box's /home. Any issues there? Thanks in advance. -- Matt __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
