Re. password has expired:

Just ignore that for the moment and continue (as far as I remember there is an OK button for that message). We had that message as well with Ubuntu 9.04 after each logon but you could ignore (OK) the message and continue.

This message is gone since Ubuntu 9.10 here.

hello guys,
I installed the ubuntu 9.10 version and it worked on it i was able to login as a domain user,
but i had to add the domain name to the login

Code: [Select]

DOMAIN-NAME\usernameas long as it had worked i don't mind.

Now i do have tow questions :

1--> I want these user to able to log into an ubuntu machine
       while be there data well fall them on both OS, but in the ubuntu case i got "nethome".
       How can I bring the windows data and put in there home so u want feel the difference
       even the desktop wallpaper.

2--> How can i put some restrictions when they are using ubuntu like I used to with do
       with the netlogon script for windows.

thanks in advance....

Re. the 'smbtree' command not working, it's due to:

root@jwj-laptop:/home/administrator# smbtree
The program 'smbtree' is currently not installed.  You can install it by typing:
apt-get install smbclient
smbtree: command not found
root@jwj-laptop:/home/administrator#

So if you install smbclient it fixes the problem, so this needs adding to the 'Additional Packages' section. Thanks

Is it possible, do you think, to have the user's home folder under SME mounted as their home folder on the workstation instead of as nethome?
