 |
|
Hey fellas,
I've looked around in the forum for a way to log on to an NT Domain with my Gentoo box. I wanna use DHCP. If I just set eth0 to DHCP in /etc/conf.d/net then I get an IP address but i can't connect to anything.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks lots! |

That is not possible - Unix does not support Windows NT style authentication for its users.

What do you think you mean by "connect to anything"?
The only thing you can actually access from a Unix system is the file shares on the NT domain.
Install and configure winbind to authenticate for file shares against an NT SAM.
Mount NT shares with smbclient, smbfs or otherwise.

You can set up winbind and pam in such a way that you can use it to control the login for all services on the box including fileshares, machine login etc. The better option would be using LDAP but that'd require Win2k Server and not NT4.
Yes, DHCP will work straight off, emerge samba and then read the documentation at http://us3.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/ on how to join the machine to the domain and configure winbind and pam. |
