Bear with me; my specific question is specific to Solaris.
Various articles and HOWTOs I've found on using Samba as a Windows primary domain controllers seem to call for creating a unix user account for each client system, with the name <computername>$; so if the client computer is named saturn, you're supposed to create a user saturn$. The articles show this being done through useradd -- on Linux. When I do this on Solaris, I get an error saying that the username isn't valid, and reading man pages shows that the "$" isn't a valid character in usernames. So does anybody have an article/howto on using Samba *on Solaris* as a domain controller? Or should I just give up and go back to workgroups? Or...for a home environment, are workgroups actually the better solution? I do notice that XP home doesn't support domain logon, and that might be an issue at some point; I think one of our laptops may have that on it now in fact. I'm interested in keeping my main data files on the fileserver, but not that interested in people logging into random computers and getting "their" home directories from the server; we have such different software loads, etc., that it doesn't seem to make sense to make us transparently portable between computers. -- David Dyer-Bennet, <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/> RKBA: <http://www.dd-b.net/carry/> Pics: <http://www.dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/> Dragaera/Steven Brust: <http://dragaera.info/> _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list [email protected]
