Ya that's not really an option, I don't control the AD servers, so no
suf or schema extensions.
But what I'm finding make it pretty clear there is no way to replace
NFS with SMB for a large multiuser system. I find that very
disappointing given the age of the samba project. I really figured
someone would have a great solution for dropping a Linux box into a AD
domain with no modification to the AD.
Follow question.
mount.cifs //server/share /mnt/folder -ousername=user,sec=krb5i
works okay, other then mounting as root and not enforcing perms.
mount.cifs //server/share /mnt/folder -
ousername=user,sec=krb5i,uid=12345
returns an mount error 126 = Required key not available
Anybody got a comment?
cifs.upcall is working otherwise the first mount wouldn't work. This
is attempting to connect to a W2k8 server in an AD.
Thanks,
Derek

I had a similair problem a couple of years ago.
I tried to get the users credentials to automaticly map the
homedirectories off the windows machine. I never got it working.
In theory it should since the users got a kerberos ticket while they
logged on to linux. But I could not spend to much time on it.
The only solution I got woking was to install services for unix on the
windowsmachine and then export the homedirectories over nfs.
But then I had to spend time to build a script to sync userid:s
between
unix and windows.
I don't know it that works better nowdays. I assume microsoft don't
want
to build a to good solutions for integrating with unix.
Okay I've run out of cool ideas and am hoping that someone can
offer a
brilliant solution to this problem.
I'm attempting to deploy a RHEL 5.3 server as a shared ssh servers,
user home directories are coming off a Windows 2008 fileserver. I
though autofs would be the winning solution but it doesn't/can't
mount
the users home directory using kerberos, RedHat doesn't provide
pam_mount so until I build that next week I won't know how well then
works.
So does anyone have a suggest? How do you provide smb home
directories on multiuser systems?
Thanks,
Derek
