newbie samba question

mehesque · 11-03-2003, 08:37 AM

I would like multiple people to sign in as the same client from different machine at the same time. I've been looking for a while and I can't seem to find this option--it must exist.

Also, it's a new domain, of which the linux box is the PDC.

Can anyone help?

its doesn't exist, if you want to do something clever do not look at samba, instead have one machine as the samba client, and use NFS to distibute the home directory over different machines, but that is not a samba problem

Thanks, I'm looking into that.

For reference I'm running samba-2.2.7 on a rh 9.0 machine.

I have another question. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be done on the Windows side or if samba can do this. Is there a way that samba, as a PDC, can restrict it's clients privileges to the internet?

Ok, it turns out that I can log onto different machines as the same user on the same domain at the same time. But, are there any complications that can come from this?

Also, I'm looking inot a proxy/NAT gateway to restrict internet access.

NFS is a better way to do that,

Using the same User and domain, the only thing that you could have is access and permition denied on the same files or application, more than that ....

nothing else!
