I have a small (6 PC, maybe 8 more if I get VPN working) local net with 4 dual-boot Win/Linux workstations and a big server that has samba (RH 7.2). What I wanted to do is build a PDS on the Samba server so the Win98 PC would authenticate there. I also want to maintain synced the unix passwords with the Windows passwords, so I thought about having samba authenticate against PAM (which is the default on RedHat, AFAIK). Now, reading the HowTo, I find that when PDS comes up encrypted passwords are needed, and PAM can not be used. Is this right? Can somebody guide me to some other docs on this behave? -- Porqu? usar una base de datos relacional cualquiera, si pod?s usar PostgreSQL? ----------------------------------------------------------------- Mart?n Marqu?s | mmarques@unl.edu.ar Programador, Administrador, DBA | Centro de Telematica Universidad Nacional del Litoral -----------------------------------------------------------------
