[Fedora-directory-users] Need some pointers to information
I want to use a Linux server as a file server for Windows clients. I would like to be able to add users to the Directory Server pragmatically and from that have users be able to access the Linux server via Samba. Save/edit/delete files, and set ACLs. This server will not be the PDC, and there may or may not be a PDC on the network at all (computers may be a simple workgroup). I''ve been going through the various docs and how-tos on setting up Fedora Directory Server, Samba, and integrating the two, but everything I have been reading seems to assume that my Linux server will be the PDC. The process for adding users seems to be to create a Unix user and then make them a Samba user. Which is basically the opposite of what I want. I would like to add the user to the Directory Server and have that fully enable the user''s access to the Linux server. Perhaps I am just confused. I''ve searched and searched but I can''t find anything that looks at/talks about the Fedora Directory Server and Samba from this direction. Any help here is greatly appreciated. Thanks, -Mont
