Remote authentication
 

Hi there, I'm a bit new to Linux so I'm hoping someone can enlighten me.

I've recently started working for a small company that runs a Linux Samba server and every client is running on a workgroup.

I was wondering how to set up remote authentication.... and if possible having roming profiles?

I'm sure it's possible, I just have no idea what part of linux does it, I've seen bits of NIS but I'm not sure this is what I want.

Many thanks

Gary

Welcome to LQ.

Which system do you want to store the details in? Do you want to link into an existing system? If you are looking to implement a central repository then LDAP is a good solution:

what flavor windooze your clients are running i have a smb.conf file i could mail to you and you could make the nessary changes. it's quite simple (i hate when people say that)
