samba - Apr 2012 - SAMBA-FREERADIUS-LDAP

Hi,
this is my first e-mail on this list and am newbie of samba also.

I'll explain you what i'd like to do with my lan and i ask you some
advices.

I've got a Debian Squeeze server. I installed an LDAP server with some 
groups and users.

The LAN has a computer room with 30 pc Ubuntu.
In addition to these there are others computers will can connect to the 
LAN using wireless connection and they can have differents operating 
systems (Mac, Windows, Ubuntu).
I want that every user can connect using a computer of the room or his 
own computer. Every user will be registered on the LDAP server.
I want that every user will have his home directory on the server and 
not on the client.

I can configure only the clients of the computer room but i can't 
configure the others (Mac, Windows, Ubuntu) because i'll not be on the 
place so, i'll not use Winbind. I want, if possible, configure 
Freeradius for the wireless authentication using LDAP credentials.
After this authentication the user will can enter in his home directory 
on the server

What do you think?
Thanks
Z.

We try/evaluate a solution for this problem on/in some schools.
No "freeradius", no LDAP.

The clients try to login into the samba domain on the Linux-/Samba  
server, they must have a linux-/samba account on this server. That's  
all.

No Microsoft domain, no machine account or so. Quite simple.

The next probably problem (not related to samba): the server also works  
as a communication server, as a proxy server for surfing. We have  
defined that using the proxy server requires an authentication (with the  
linux account) - it works.

No Microsoft domain, no winbind etc.
The client works as a kind of thin client. It must have an OS which can  
mount samba shares - that's enough.

Viele Gruesse!
