Hi all,
We have been running samba servers for a few years now. All is running
very well. Lately we are seeing more and more linux workstations in our
network. We've always helped them to manually map shares etc, which
works well. But we are really looking for a way to automatically create
the necessary drives (mounts) upon logging into the network. (with
something like a linux equivalent of the windows logon script)
I know of autofs, but (the way I see it now?) this is not scalable nor
automatically, because it needs to have the username/password to use in
a file. It can't work as 'the currently logged-in' user. (please correct
me if I'm wrong!)
So... What you you people here use? Is there a solution for this, other
than manually configuring each workstation? Or should I use something
else? NFS?
btw: sles10 servers, samba/openldap, xp / ubuntu workstations.
Regards,
Mourik Jan
