I am currently using Samba's Winbind to authenticate users for Samba access, I have also gotten it to work for ftp and telnet access. It doesn't really synchronize the id's it just passes the authentication info on and verifies it's correct.

Has anone gotten Linux to update user ID's/Passwords from an NT central domain ? Is it possible to synchronize those, or failing that has anyone gotten Linux security to refresh from RACF or ACF2 secuirity databases, or even authenticate logon using LDAP into RACF or ACF2 instead of manually trying to synchronize Linux user lists/passwords/groups/ etc |---------+----------------------------> | | Joseph Sumi | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | v> | | | Sent by: Linux on| | | 390 Port | | | <[EMAIL PROTECTED]| | | IST.EDU> | | | | | | | | | 12/10/2002 09:42 | | | AM | | | Please respond to| | | Linux on 390 Port| | | | |---------+----------------------------> >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------| | | | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | cc: | | Subject: LINUX & Security | >--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------| Hello, we have just started to research SUSE Linux under z/VM, and I've been asked these questions: - Does SUSE Linux issue any SAF (RACF) calls for security in the z/VM environment ? If not, how is security handled ? - Are there any types of "SMF" records cut to record access or violations to resources in a Linux z/VM environment ? - Does anyone have a link to more specific security / Linux information ? Thanks.
