Hi, I had no responses to my previous message about setting up a samba linux fileserver using account info from another linux box, so I've tried to figure out a solution.
I need to have two separate servers, one holding the UNIX accounts for the users and also acting as a PDC, and a second one acting as a mere file server with a backup unit (perhaps a DVD-RW). All I want to do is that the file server gets the account information (username, group and password) from the main server which has the UNIX accounts on it, so I don't have to replicate all accounts info on both machines and manage to keep them up in sync. In a concrete example, I want to define on the file server certain shares which can be written only by certain users or group members, but these users/groups won't exist locally on the fileserver. I don't know which would be the best set up for reaching out this, should I use NIS, LDAP, winbind, etc.? I would really appreciate your suggestions. Regards, -- Carlos Oliva G. Igloo Sistemas Ltda.
