Well, FWIW, the OSF are looking into releasing the complete DCE 1.2 sources under the LGPL. Some work would be needed to get the DFS client integrated but I believe it has already been done for Linux; google for Jim Doyle's work on Linux-DCE.
Doing a CIFS to DFS gateway would be cool, though. I think you could either have SAMBA forward an addressless ticket to the DFS server or have the client acquire a ticket for DFS which is included in the CIFS AP_REQ. I must confess that although I understand the concepts I don't really understand the protocols involved in ticket forwarding and delegation. -- Luke >From: Steve Langasek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: Re: More Kerberos-related questions >To: Andrew Bartlett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED], Luke Howard <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >Date: Wed, 8 Jan 2003 16:08:06 -0600 > >On Thu, Jan 09, 2003 at 09:03:03AM +1100, Andrew Bartlett wrote: > >> I'm not sure why you would want to do this however, when you could just >> mount the DFS stuff onto Linux (I assume there is a client...). > >A quick web search shows me that there are DFS clients available for >Linux; but perhaps there's a licensing issue? > >-- >Steve Langasek >postmodern programmer > >[Attachment: a2, application/pgp-signature] -- Luke Howard | PADL Software Pty Ltd | www.padl.com
