I'm in the process of doing something very similar. From what I understand, the client-side permissions don't matter... as long as the clients authenticate through winbind, it'll let the user access their files (as long as the permissions are correct on the server... IE, if user "test123" owns /home/test123, then the clients should let test123 access it too).
Sorry if I didn't explain that well... it's getting late, and I've been working on this for about 14 hours straight now... ____________________________ Shannon Johnson Network Support Specialist / Systems Administrator Dept. of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering 224 Reber Building University Park, PA 16802 Phone: (814) 865-8267 ____________________________ > -----Original Message----- > From: Ze'ev Maor [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 7:34 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [Samba] sharing users home dirs for Win2003 and linux > > I've setup a linux box with winbind as a member in Win2003 AD and > everything works fine. > I want to share the Win2003 users home dirs with the linux box, i.e. > when a user logs into the linux box, after he's authenticated through > winbind, he should have his home dir from the Windows box, how can I do > that?? > Obviously I have to use CIFS to mount the dirs, but how do I maintain > file and dirs ownerships and permissions?? > -- Ze'ev Maor <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
