Hi Guys, Sorry this is a little late coming, but we have just got a Suse8.1 box onto our Connect 3 network using Samba 3. It authenticates with the AD and maps a drive to the users home space.

I hope you could make your knowledge more public - so I'll post and email. I have no trouble (well - apart from reading the docs) on getting winbind to work and can 'see' all the NT users from the linux box. Its the PAM modules which I couldn't follow (probably old age...). Like others (so it would seem) I am not about to abandon NT/W2K - for political reasons if none other - so need to have our Linux box authenticate against NT. Do I need to have matching users in the Linux database - I think not. Do I need to have homedirectories on Linux? If not - how can I make LINUX use them on a Home share from NT. And Finally - what are the contents of the PAM modules so that NT users can telnet to - run a KDE session or whatever to the linux box - and separate LINUX users still get authenticated by the LINUX box. -- Alan Davies Head of Computing Birkenhead School
Hi Alan and Others, Yes, the information you want is forthcoming. It was actually setup by accident - it wasn't working and then it was as I followed some instructions I had been given. The notes I have are scribbled on A4 paper. I am attempting to do it again on another, different linux box whilst writing the notes out properly. They will arrive soon. It has been a busy day in school, so nothign was done today. Hope you will all be a little patient.
