I want to thank whoever mentioned KerbNet by Cygnus Solutions! Wowza! I recommend that people check it out. It lets you implement Kerberos under UNIX and NT, and have them work together (so you have one *unified* security system that is used by both your NT and UNIX boxes). It's at http://www.cygnus.com/product/kerbnet-index.html It...

I had given NIS access to the Windows NT domain users via Samba 1.9.18p3. The Samba gateway worked great when the users on the NT domain had the same username & password on both the NT PDC as well as the NIS. I have now set up Samba 1.9.18.p4 with server security & password sync turned on. The server specified is my NT PDC. Users get full access to the NIS & the NT with single logon

...posed by Luke or Brendon should be considered (both of them suggest using NT's own SAM database as queried via SMB in place of authentication native to UNIX). As even your organization considers Kerberos to be a good solution it should be given considerable thought; especially in light of the Kerbnet source being made available Cygnus Solutions (http://www.cygnus.com/product/kerbnet-index.html) although ITAR restrictions may preclude its use in Portugal. The thing to keep in mind in password syncronization is that UNIX passwords and NT (not LanMan) passwords cannot be decrypted from their res...

...DU), which actually offers this functionality, but we are yet to see our copy! Are there any other similar products out there...??? All advise much appreciated! (NB: We do not want to implement NIS or NIS+, so GINA and NISGINA are not viable solutions. As we are located in Australia, we cannot use Kerbnet (due to the lunacy of US export laws)! Also, we are exceedingly hesitant to allow WinNT to validate UNIX logons using PAM. And as we need a solution before the start of first semester (March 1998), we cannot wait for the SAMBA PDC functionality or the promise of WinNT v5.0 supporting Kerberos authe...

...nf (with "files" "nis" ..) and there is "ypldapd" as another approach (almost ready ;)) should be relatively easy to do something like that on NT domain controlers. i'm not sure if there is something at the moment? there is another thing that can do the job: "KerbNet" from www.cygnus.com. this used to be a commercial product but it was converted into a freeware a few months ago. i personally believe that LDAP solution is the right approach since it addresses many other systems administration related issues. vterzic@systems.dhl.com

Hello, I don't know much about Samba so forgive me if this is a stupid question. I'm currently working on a project for a client that relies on Unix machines for their main applications. Access to Unix applications is done through terminal emulation (vt 100) on Windows PCs. We are implementing a Windows NT network for file an print sharing and to support SMS. One of the goals of the
