Description:
kSamba is used for AFS translation in University of Michigan Campus sites. It also allows Windows workstations to authenticate and connect to UNIX SMB (Server Message Block) servers via a kerberos out-of-band negotiation. This allows users to connect without entering a SMB password. A version of Samba 2.0.6 modified to support AFS and kerberos is implemented on the server side.
I am less interested in using an AFS translator, because we now have an OpenAFS client for windows, but the "allows windows workstations to authenticate and connect to UNIX SMB server via kerberos" part sounds nice. Particularly because I have an MIT KDC to deal with, and don't desire to leverage AD for Kerberos. Looks as if this project is pretty old, anyone familiar with it?
Samba 3.0 supports kerberos authentication for SMB resources as both a
client and a server. Server-side is currently ADS only, but this should
change shortly. The problem is to convince the clients to speak
kerberos.
