Suse in a Windows AD
 

Has anyone ever got Suse to work w/ a windows active directory? I want to give users the ability to login to suse using their windows AD username/password and give them access to a shared folder.

I had it going under SuSE 9.2 at work as a feasibility test for replacing some desktop machines with SuSE. I'm pretty sure with YaST there is an option to setup Samba automatically which ties you in to your AD. A bit of tweaking getting winbind + pam working lets you login as normal and maps across user home drives, shared network drives, etc. Will try to dig up a tutorial for changing pam to use the correct authentication system, or a do a search on google to pull up what needs changing manually.

Using Yast, I believe it's a one button affair at least for authentication! Look at the Samba Client module.
