Is there a way to get samba to authenticate against an AD without having to join that domain (which needs admin credentials)? I don't want any of the automatic user creation or mapping stuff from winbind, just a password check instead of having to maintain a local password. I can get that effect via kerberos for normal linux logins by using authconfig-tui, checking kerberos, and filling in

Samba's documentation/howto is here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setup_a_Samba_AD_Member_Server As others have mentioned, authconfig will take care of some of those steps for you, but won't set up Samba.

Hi. I am trying to find "something" (php prefered) that I can stick onto a Centos apache server that would allow me to browse a selected file system by employees through a web-browser "explorer like" interface. I know I can do this through WinSCP (and have done so), but my problem is I have Linux, Windows and MAC clients and my knowledge of MAC's is rather limited. I

I would start by testing IPA. Redhat is building out a set of enterprise management tools which include cobbler and spacewalk; I would think IPA will eventually be integrated into their mgt tools.

When I use copy/paste text into a window running vi, if there is a single line starting with '#', in the pasted content, it adds a # to all subsequent lines and indents each an additional level. Is there some way to eliminate this bizarre behavior, preferably globally and permanently so I don't have to repeat some change for every machine/user where I might log in? -- Les
