I have a big project
coming up here at work to cut down on the amount of *coughcrappycough* Novell we
use. It's going to involve the following:
1 - Users
authenticate to a Win2k Active Directory for access to Samba
shares
2 - Once
authenticated, Samba will share the user's home directory on the linux Samba
server (which is mapped to a drive letter for each individual
user)
3 - The user's
directories size will be kept under control by the native quota system in
linux
We've already
managed to handle #1 on a different server (before the hardware died, so I gotta
figure it out again). #2 and #3 are a little different
though.
Does anyone know how
user directory is handled in the case of external authentication on a linux
server? I would rather not manually create a home directory for each user if
possible (there's almost 200 people involved).
Does anyone know how
well Samba interacts with the quota system, especially with the addendum of an
external authentication scheme?
Thanks for any help
you can give!
Greg
