Re: [Samba] Fileserver integrated into windows domain, plus linux clients needed‏

Making an AD Domain Member Server is not difficult.  However, what is

week or so at a time, which is not particularly robust...

Cheers,

I have tried in vain to find a way to introduce a single point of authentication, I have looked at kerberos, winbind and LDAP. I consider myself a good network technician, but the introduction of linux into a domain has thrown me. Is there a an easy way to integrate a linux fileserver with a windows controlled domain with both linux and windows clients?
