I am having SLED issues and may install 10.3. I would like to know a couple things: 1)what versions of gnome and kde does 10.3 use? 2)is joining a domain as easy as in SLED?

1) GNOME 2.20, not sure about KDE, 3.5.something, 2) Can't answer that one, sorry :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

2) Depends on how easy you mean. If you are referring to the Windows Domain Membership button in YaST, it's there. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Re 2), yes. You need to create the machine trust account on the domain server but then it is straightforward using the Windows Domain Membership tool in Yast. I did have trouble initially, because I have a dual boot laptop with Windows and OpenSuse 10.3. I had an existing machine account for the laptop when booted into Windows and then tried to get OpenSuse to join the domain using the same hostname. It kept failing telling me that it could not create the trust account (because the machine account already existed). I had to give the laptop a different hostname when booted into Linux, then create a new machine account on the server for the new hostname. After that, it worked fine. I still haven't figured out how to get it to mount the network drives at logon (as opposed to system startup), so that it can map the drives on a per-user basis (a-la Windows). I did ask on the list but got no response so I figured that no-one knows the answer to this. Nevertheless, it is easy to join a Windows domain with 10.3. Hope this helps. -- ====================================================== Rodney Baker VK5ZTV rodney.baker@optusnet.com.au ====================================================== -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Hi Rodney, Have you used SLES10 to join a Windows domain before? I tried it but it seems that the PAM module for Kerberos is not available on SLES. Does that mean that SLES is not meant to have the same login accounts available in the domain? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

I believe pam_mount offers this functionality ... I have not used it so I cannot verify how effective this is... But look at the link below... http://pam-mount.sourceforge.net/

Thanks - that looks like exactly what I need. I found it available for install via Yast2, but that seems to be several versions behind (0.18 as opposed to 0.31 on SourceForge). Nevertheless, I have it installed - now I just have to figure out how to make it go :-).
