I'm setting up a new Samba-based AD domain. The domain will be used to authenticate access to both Windows and Linux desktops and portables. When a Windows portable is not able to access the AD servers (e.g. you are using a portable outside of the office) you can still happily logon using cached credentials (as long as the user logged on the pc at least once before). Is there a way to get the same behaviour on Linux? I want my linux-laptop users to be able to logon to their laptops even if they are not connected to the network. I know I can add local accounts to /etc/passwd but that kind of defeats the purpose of setting up an AD domain.

Hai Nico, Yes, you can do the same for linux laptops. Read : https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/PAM_Offline_Authentication And here is an example. https://www.clearos.com/resources/documentation/clearos/content:en_us:kb_howtos_add_linux_workstation_to_the_samba_domain Greetz, Louis> -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- > Van: samba [mailto:samba-bounces at lists.samba.org] Namens Nico De Ranter > Verzonden: maandag 7 december 2015 11:39 > Aan: samba at lists.samba.org > Onderwerp: [Samba] Caching user accounts on a Linux portable > > I'm setting up a new Samba-based AD domain.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for.
