[brlug-general] Login server?

[John Hebert]

Here's a book you might want to check out, written by somebody you might know:

http://www.amazon.com/Integrate-Linux-Solutions-Windows-Network/dp/0761527915/ref=sr_1_1/103-8788001-9139810?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1182737330&sr=8-1

BTW, the basic Samba documentation covers basic examples of setting up a Linux box as a PDC with user logins and login scripts.

Really? Wow. I knew Samba had way more functionality than I had ever used, but I had no idea.

Thanks, I'll check it out.

You can use Samba to do all of that. It can also act as your PDC so you
can use roaming profiles, logon scripts, etc.

There are tutorials everywhere to do such a setup.

Okay, guys, bear with me because I've never messed with anything like

this before.

I'd like to set up a server that will process user logins and map
network drives to user folders on the server. I know Windows can do
it, but surely we can do something like this with Linux, right?


I'd want it to process logins from Windows and Linux users. (I'm
saying 'users' like it's all big and bad, when in reality, I'm talking
about three or four users--this is for home.)


Like I said, I have no experience and no nothing about how something
like this would work.

Thanks.

Joe
