Hello all, We have been working on a number of interesting threads throughout the organization with Linux. One of the hardest to get a handle on is authentication, home directory definition, Uid etc.
We have an established NIS world directory structure but we are in the process of moving portions to LDAP/Active Directory(AD).(Please no attacks these decisions are well outside my area of control). We have attempted to use the Samba WINDBIND package to provide domain authentication. There is an issue with the local implementation issue with domain trust relationships but when bypassing that issue for now it seems to work. The question is how do we integrate the NIS information into the mix? We are planning to move some NFS servers to LinZ, the current permissions are in NIS. I am trying to find if any one has been able to integrate NIS and AD? The hardest part is the co-existence between the 2. regards Phil
