samba - Jan 2024 - Off Topic: NFS ad integration

Stefan,

That's an excellent point, thanks for the reminder and the 
confirmation.? I had thought the same thing.? I dont think that will be 
a requirement, (at least not that I have been told).? Just multi 
protocol access to the same server.

If the server is an AD-member you can setup a NFS-server and give 
permissions to all the AD-users (as long as you have configured winbind 
on the server) to your NFs-share. So when a user logs in to a 
Linux-client with his AD-account and then mount the NFS-share he should 
have the permissions you gave to him on the NFS-share. The Linux-client 
must also be a AD-member. The user will get a kerberos-ticket during the 
login process and so you can configure NFS using Kerberos, but this is a 
different story ;-)
