this time (for learning sake) i want to know how will samba-B authenticate samba users that connects to it using samba-A's authentication?
just specify the parameter "security=server" on samba-B's smb.conf, then specify the "password server = samba-A". restart samba-B's service for the changes to take effect.
Note: a similar local account is still needed on samba-B although the authentication is being conducted on samba-A. but the account doesn't need to have a shell,home dir and and password on samba-B, just the account name.
one way i know would be possible (but havent implement) is to do PDC-BDC setup, but i need to know if there is another way. because samba-A is not and i dont want it to be a PDC.
im not ready for ldap or nss yet. and i dont want to repeat: to input the win98 client's username on samba-B, of course.
read more about Winbind and it will set you free.
