Hello,
is there any way to make my ubuntu a part of WinNT domain so I don't have to keep typing in passwords every time i want to open a network share? -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |
Assuming its an NT4 style domain, you'll need to use samba to do this,
specifically winbind. Unless somebody on this list can outline the exact steps, your best bet is to check out samba.org. There are two guides there, The Official HOWTO, and Samba 3 by example. These are online versions of books by the same title available for purchase at your local book store. And they're free. They're both very good and should help you accomplish this. One thing, though, is that you shouldn't need to follow steps decribing downloading source and compiling. Samba packages are available in the Ubuntu repositories.

I know we've been almost here before, but you definitely don't need winbind just to allow your Samba to connect to domain shares. To become a genuine part of the domain, I guess you would, but I do this from a machine that is firewalled off from the domain (because I don't know enough about Samba to be sure I don't do something bad). > On 11/15/05, Martynas Brijunas <[hidden email]> wrote: >> >> is there any way to make my ubuntu a part of WinNT domain so I don't >> have to keep typing in passwords every time i want to open a network >> share? In Kubuntu, you'd go to the control center, "Internet & Network", "Local Network browsing" and simply enter your windows domain user name, as DOMAIN\USER, and password. Then all attempts to mount a Windows share use this. I'm sure there must be something similar in Gnome. -- derek -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] http://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

That doesn't sound like what the OP wanted, so I don't think that was the right advice. > In Kubuntu, you'd go to the control center, "Internet & Network", "Local > Network browsing" and simply enter your windows domain user name, as > DOMAIN\USER, and password.

Maybe the original poster can clarify what he meant, but he did say "
make my ubuntu a part of WinNT domain," and the correct answer to that is to configure pam to use winbind--assuming it's an NT4 domain. If it's an AD domain, then linux can authenticate against it like it would authenticate against any LDAP/Kerberos authentication mechanism. Certainly, you don't *have* to join the domain in order to access domain resources, such as shares--this is true even with windows. However to use network-based authentication rather than local authentication, allowing you to access network resources transparently, then joining the domain is appropriate. As far as the observation: "joining the domain allows others to connect to YOUR shares," That's not what being part of a domain is about. It means using centrally managed network based user accounts as opposed to locally managed accounts that are unique to each machine. If you don't have samba configured with any shares, then you don't have any shares for others to connect to. And if you do have shares configured then only users to whom you have granted permission may acccess them. The samba documentation is really quite good. Please check it out. It addresses all these things.

I have a shell script I run once a day that has the password in it as
plain text (yeah I know.. not secure). I still neet to sudo it which means putting in a password.. but it's only once a day I need to as it maps all the drives. If you didn't like that plain text password you could always compile it inti a bin file which would make it only slightly harder to read the password... I'll send you a copy of the short script if you want..

Thanks for all the replies! I am going to try this at work tomorrow
morning, and will keep you posted.
