You'll have noticed that I don't like to let a day pass without giving you people something to work out :) Here's today's issue. We will be setting up a linux box with samba to effectively act as primary domain controller for all the school's NT workstation machines and dole out profiles policies and home directories. Ideally, the same machine would handle logins and home directories for the 123 linux boxes we will be deploying over the summer holidays. I've already set up one of my own machines as a PDC using SAMBA and my NT machine is very happy to mount the shares etc, so I am happy on that score. However, I haven't got the first idea how to set up a linux client machine to login via a server. I certainly don't want to have to setup all the user accounts on all the client machines, however the machines will need to retain local logon functionality for when they are used away from the school network, and also in the event of a failure in the network or server. I'm sure if someone points me in the right direction, it will save me hours of searching and reading :) Cheers -- Phil Driscoll
