how do you setup a linux box that stores all the users, groups and home folders for clients on the network? How do you get your clients to authenticate with the linux server where the users username/passwd is stored? how would you set it up in a pure linux environment?
LDAP. You set up the client machines to use the PAM LDAP module. I think you could probably use NIS as well.
And how would you set it up in a mixed environment for linux and windows?
LDAP/NIS for Linux, Samba for Windows. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- http://www.spamchek.com/freetrial - sign up for your free 30-day trial now!
