Hello Samba list! I'm looking for quick verification that this will not work: I already have a Gentoo workstation authenticating to a Windows ADS. I can log in with my DOMAIN+username and it takes the domain password and maps my uid into the proper range and all that good stuff. Samba is rad like that. However, I have a grip of various unix systems, and rather than spend the effort getting openldap, krb5, and samba installed and configured on all the hosts, I thought it would be cool if I could generate a NIS map and use that. It seems the basic structure of NIS authentication does not allow this. Please tell me I'm wrong, that you've done this, and that you'll send me your relevant config files. I don't think it will work but hey... -k p.s. if you have another idea for my "slacker sso" plan, i'd love to hear it.
