Hi everybody!
I'm planning on realising the following situation:
We have a NT-PDC and some Windows-Clients. As Linux becomes more popular
and more important in our net, we'd like to use the PDC's user-database
for "logon-authentications" on the linux-computers too. Planned are
some
linux workstations and at least one server.
My idea so far is to have the linux clients authenticate against a
linux-NIS-server. This NIS-server shall contact the NT-PDC whether
user/password is correct or not. To do this, the NIS-server will use the
pam_smb-software.
- Is this scenario possible the way I just mentioned?
- What happens to users not even stated in linux-client's or
nis-server's /etc/passwd? (Is the option "nolocal" here the
correct way
of getting it to work?)
- Is there a better way than this scenario? (e.g. can winbind help me in
some way here?)
Thx a lot for any ideas, links or other help ... :)
Max
