Does anyone have any idea how Solaris PC-Netlink compares to Samba?
It seems to support ACLs (does Samba?)
Also, how do they both do on the subject of being a domain controller?
What I am looking for is ACL support (I am getting tired of making every
possible combination of groups to deal with user needs).
I also want LDAP support whereby changing the passwd from an NT system
changes both the unix (crypt) passwd and the NT (obfuscated) passwd.
Even better if running "passwd" on a Unix NIS client would
change both using the Solaris Extensions for Directory Server. The
latter I should be able to hack together by starting with a free
yppasswdd implementation.

Gary asked: | Does anyone have any idea how Solaris PC-Netlink compares to Samba? Sure: I did a paper on it this spring, I'll see if it's been published yet. In the meantime: - it does ACLS, but stores them in a file, which you need to save during backups. They **do not** control access from the Unix side. - it will happily be a domain controller - it doesn't do ldap - it doesn't do single-signon (yet) - The 1.2 version is faster than it was, so the client limit in no longer 1000 or less. --dave -- David Collier-Brown, | Always do right.
