I suppose those users would like to use their existing credentials to login to your linux box. If you have ADS and need login only pam_krb5 and pam_ldap (or just pam_ldap) might be a good start. For a NT4 style domain, samba is required. The big picture here is: for AD you get a ticket from the AD KDC (that is authorization) and your ID data from AD LDAP with pam_ldap. With NT4 domains winbindd from samba does it all in one place, you basically join the domain and there is a pam module pam_winbind that makes domain users available to PAM aware applications. cheers Paul -- [email protected] mailing list
