Hello, I have a mix of thin client and thick clients for Edubuntu 7.10. I would like to have the thick clients authenticate and mount the user's home directory from the server.
I am guessing that LDAP and Samba is the best way to do this, but I am thoroughly confused at the moment. I have tried the steps at this tutorial: http://www.debuntu.org/ldap-server-and-linux-ldap-clients and can get the server to run (I am able to query the LDAP database while logged into the server). When I try to set up a thick client, I cannot get it to return anything other than the local /etc/passwd file when I do sudo getent passwd Once I reboot the thick client, I am unable to login at all (I guess that LDAP client is trying to authenticate, but failing, and also not allowing local login). I don't see any error messages on the server (syslog, daemon.log) - where would LDAP errors be logged? I see all sorts of tutorials floating around, and have tried bits and pieces of a few. Same results. Any hints on a good document? Thanks, Charles
