Title: Authenticating Fedora 7 Workstations against SME Server with Automatic Mounting
Post by: steever on November 19, 2007, 05:33:34 PM

Hi guys. 

I have put a wiki entry http://wiki.contribs.org/Fedora7 (http://wiki.contribs.org/Fedora7) describing how to authenticate a Fedora 7 Workstation against a SME Server so that users' home folders are automatically mounted.  Please take a look and pick it apart.

Enjoy!  Steve

Edit:  Cactus did a great job formatting the guide.  Thanks mate!

Hi,

I followed that howto for opensuse 10.3 and work well. But I found user group name use user full names on smeserver not group name of that user.

On SMEServer :

Code: [Select]

# cat /etc/passwd | grep administrator
administrator:x:5029:5029:Administrator of my domain :/home/e-smith/files/users/administrator:/bin/bash

# cat /etc/group | grep administrator
administrator:x:5029:


On Client:

Code: [Select]

user@pc-00234:~> wbinfo -u | grep administrator
administrator

user@pc-00234:~> wbinfo -g | grep administrator
administrator of my domain


Why group name was not 'administrator' ? Any idea ?

Thanks
