authentication separate from the general linux authentication (I don't know the correct word, sorry)? Why not have that synced, so that when user changes her password on the linux server, also the samba password changes. And even earlier on, why not have that linked with samba-users group or something, so that the users who are in that group would be able to use samba (same way as ssh)? Yes, I know all this can be done! But it is really, really hard.
Hi On the contrary. It's easy. It's also one of the most closely guarded secrets of Yast. Instead of holding your users in flat files, you stick them in LDAP. This gives you single sign on from either Linux or windows. openSUSE includes a schema to enable you to setup a full NT style domain. Join your windows and Linux clients to it and away you go. http://digiplan.eu.org/ldap-samba-howto-v4.html HTH L x -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
