Hello all,
I'm pondering the details of offering our home directories (living on
an E250 server with Solaris 9) to those with Linux PCs in their office.
As the PC owners will have root access, using NFS does not seem like an option (because
root may su to any other user).
The only idea I have come up with thus far is using smbmount to access
a user's home directory via samba (which is running to provide Windows
connectivity to users' home directory). The Samba password will be
required to create an smbmount to their home directory, which ideally will
be disconnected at logout.
I recognize that this idea has possabilities as well as klugy pitfalls
- I'm curious how others have dealt with the problem of integrating Linux
workstations into the Solaris environment.
I'll summarize of course,
Thanks -- Ivan.
