Yeah - its just for me to use, not for public consumption.

Its four 300 (okay, 287 Gb) drives in a raid0.  I also have weekly tape
backups as an off-site.

Subject: Re: Damn windows passwords - SOLVED


Hi Craig,

I've done it the other way 'round... got my backup server authenticating to
a windows 2003 AS server. It's not perfect - I don't think that there's any
checking - but username and groups are preserved as
Domain+login.name:Domain+Domain Users, so samba is part way there.

It's not the best of solutions, but out here I'm under the odd constraint!
The end goal is to validate everyone aganist the Active Directory entries,
now that Billy boy has published a standard ldap access mechanism ( cough
cough ).

Does it work any better through samba? As my disks aren't even 80GB, I can't
comment on your nfs problem!

Cheers,

Steve
