[Samba] Loading homedir from windows 2000 server with autofs
Hi all. Actually, I looked on the net and didn't find the information I needed to make this possible: Each of my users got their own share of 100mb, \\w2k\username, I want that they get this share for their homedir on the unix stations. I saw that we could use autofs to mount samba share, password could be grepped from smbpw. My problem is, the server who have the shares run windows 2000, and I cannot change this (ibm windows clusters solution with 1+ terabyte). Since the share manager run win2k, unix mount can't play with permission/owner, which make the homedir pretty useless... I also tried to use cifs, but If I understood well, cifs only work if your server is unix since it only allow the transpher of metadata... Anyone did something like this? I don't want to use the microsoft package: NFS for windows... Thanks in advance, Eric Salmons
