Ya that's not really an option, I don't control the AD servers, so no
suf or schema extensions.
But what I'm finding make it pretty clear there is no way to replace
NFS with SMB for a large multiuser system. I find that very
disappointing given the age of the samba project. I really figured
someone would have a great solution for dropping a Linux box into a AD
domain with no modification to the AD.
Follow question.
mount.cifs //server/share /mnt/folder -ousername=user,sec=krb5i
works okay, other then mounting as root and not enforcing perms.
mount.cifs //server/share /mnt/folder -
ousername=user,sec=krb5i,uid=12345
returns an mount error 126 = Required key not available
Anybody got a comment?
cifs.upcall is working otherwise the first mount wouldn't work. This
is attempting to connect to a W2k8 server in an AD.
Thanks,
Derek
