We're trying to replace our Windo$e (NT 4 and 2000 domain controllers, but no AD) servers with Samba, and have both Win98, ME, 2000 and XP clients, in addition to some Linux RH7.3 and RH8 desks. Are we still waiting for Samba 3.x before we can have a single unified authentication mechanism for Windows and Un*x desktops?
Thanks,
Bub

You could use NIS or LDAP for all UNIX accounts. If you want to authenticate Linux services against smbpasswd, then look at pam_smbpass.so cheers, jerry --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hewlett-Packard ------------------------- http://www.hp.com SAMBA Team ---------------------- http://www.samba.org GnuPG Key ---- http://www.plainjoe.org/gpg_public.asc ISBN 0-672-32269-2 "SAMS Teach Yourself Samba in 24 Hours" 2ed "I never saved anything for the swim back."
