Hi all. I have a samba server running as a PDC on a FC6 box and Windows clients successfully joining the domain and accessing all resources as expected.
I recently switched my laptop from Mandrive to OpenSuse (since Mandriva's latest release no longer played nicely with my wireless card) and decided to use domain-based authentication for the OpenSuse laptop as well (this machine dual-boots with WinXP). After initial problems getting OpenSuse to join the domain (I finally figured out that the Windows and Linux installations had to have different host names for the machine trust account to be created for the OpenSuse install) I logged on expecting to be able to access the samba shares and set them up to auto-mount at logon. Unfortunately I can't figure out how to make this happen. I can access the shares via the MyComputer icon on the OpenSuse desktop (under Network Folders) but applications can't access them via the smb:// protocol and I can't find a way to mount them on the local filesystem. Also, every time I first access a share after logging on, even though I am supposedly authenticated on the domain I am prompted for a username and password to open the network share. This doesn't happen with the Windows clients - once the domain user is authenticated the shares are available without requiring further authentication. On the Yast Windows Domain Membership configuration screen it shows that I am currently a member of the domain. I have "Also use SMB information for linux authentication" checked, "Create Home Directory on Login" checked and "Offline Authentication" unchecked. Is this expected behaviour? Is there a way that I can configure the shared network drives to be auto-mounted at login time? Is a netlogon script for this machine account on the samba server the correct (or best) way to achieve this? Sorry for the long-winded question - just trying to understand what is going on and I'm not a samba expert by any means.
