Greg,
it all depends on what you want, for authentication of windows
machines, I use SEL (SuSE Enterprise Linux) because it ties LDAP,
Samba, DNS, DHCP and a few other services nicely together. it's foot
print is about 1.5 gig mark but it allows for central authentication.
back in the old day I would spend days trying to get LDAP, Samba, and
login all to use one authentication process.
all my other boxes are Gentoo. but you are after small foot print.
Hi All,
Sorry I do not post much, but I do have a question that I would
like to ask
here...
I have used a mixed network for my own use for years, primarily I
always
had Linux doing the grunt work for web services & serving, but I also
always had windows boxes, the problem is, as the network grows or as I
replaced PC's, I always kept the old boxes on the network, needless
to say
a while ago I started looking for ways to save power & space and
reduce
heat build up - my work area was like a sauna at one point :)
Anyway, to cut to the chase, I still need a box to do
authentication and to
act as a domain controller, but I would rather use a cheap
dislkless device
that sleeps when not called upon, does anyone know of a device like
this ?
or if I must use a PC, is there a CD or say USB key Linux distro
that can
be cut down to just Samba ?
I have a couple of Nettel ne2520 embedded devices if somone wants
to hack
one to do what I want, they can have the other.
Thanks in advance.
