[Samba] KDE + winbind + home directories mounted off the Samba PDC
Hello !! Has anybody successfully implemented the similar setup ? 1. R.H. 7.2 (production kernel - 2.4.7-10) + Samba PDC (2.2.8a) with unix extensions enabled 2. Samba client (2.2.8a) running R.H. Linux 7.2 (kernel 2.4.18 patched for cifs) + winbind + pam_mount 3. KDE + home directories mounted off the Samba PDC. ...points 1-2 work OK, still unable to figure out how to implement point 3. Users always get authenticated againt SAMBA PDC and home directories get mounted (when I log into FVWM desktop), but when I try to log into KDE it almost immediately kicks me out. I tracked down the problem to (I guess) symbolic links (and maybe other filesystem features also) not present in smbfs and I tried to utilize cifs - this did not help either - cifs as of today can not create symbolic links either. Does a patch (for smbmount e.g.) exist that enables processes/users to create symbolic links on a smbfs mounted share ? I`d like very much to hear from people who made it all work together. Best regards Przemyslaw Tokarski Lodz, Poland I will summarize, of course.

Unfortunately, the only real options appear to be things like NFS, AFS etc - the traditional unix->unix filesystems. NFSv4 looks promising, as I understand we finally get per-user authentication.
