Thank you Michael, I want to replace my Windows fileserver with Linux
and I also use it as authentication server for domain users (Windows)

Best Regards,
Tom

here is my  /etc/nsswitch.conf file:::

#hosts:     db files nisplus nis dns
hosts:      files dns

# Example - obey only what nisplus tells us...
#services:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#networks:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#protocols:  nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#rpc:        nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#ethers:     nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files
#netmasks:   nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files    

bootparams: nisplus [NOTFOUND=return] files

ethers:     files
netmasks:   files
networks:   files
protocols:  files ldap
rpc:        files
services:   files ldap

netgroup:   files ldap

publickey:  nisplus

automount:  files ldap
aliases:    files nisplus
