Hopefully this won't appear twice. The first time it didn't seem to send. I have 1 Linux server, 40 Linux workstations. This is a small part of a Larger network that has two windows server 2003 active directory servers, Two domains. I have a few questions about winbind and if I can get this setup to work. 1. Can I log into both domains? one is a child of the other. If not no big deal 2. I want all my workstations using the Active Directory server for authentication, Ive set up all my workstations to use winbind and I can login with some of the accounts. Is there a better way? 3. If I assign rights to a samba share through the active directory and mount that share on a linux workstation will the rights take effect? Any help is appreciated. Currently im running NIS and it is giving me too many problems.
