The biggest thing we have stopping us from adopting Samba-Linux 100% for our file and print servers is permissions administration/flexibility. Does anyone have a good resource that outlines how to get PAM working so permissions can be managed like MS's are? Guess what I am asking is can PAM do permissions like MS and if yes, can the be done in the same easy fashion as 'right-click->properties', etc. ?
Also, does PAM aid in the sharing and permissions to network printers? Please don't point me to the howto's, I've been there done that. I am looking to see if anyone here has successfully emulated a MS file server (and its easy ui share/permission administration) using Samba and Linux. If not, is it possible? or would we need to use a Linux based LDAP server as our primary domain security catalog? -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
