Hi, Is it possible to configure a CentOS4.x machine to perform a network logon with a samba server, like we can do with windows xp without having to create local users? Thanks. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed... URL: <http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos/attachments/20060825/30a0a56f/attachment-0002.html>

NIX & LDAP are authentication methodologies that can be used across different servers for user authentication. On CentOS 4, you can use smb authentication presuming that you have a suitable Windows type server mechanism. Note that all of these implementations still have some ties to a 'local' account. Craig

Windows XP still supports NT Domains. So yes, you can configure a Centos 4.x machine to handle a domain.
