Hello,
I have a mix of thin client and thick clients for Edubuntu 7.10.* I would like to have the thick clients authenticate and mount the user's home directory from the server.*

I am guessing that LDAP and Samba is the best way to do this, but I am thoroughly confused at the moment.


I have tried the steps at this tutorial:
http://www.debuntu.org/ldap-server-and-linux-ldap-clients
and can get the server to run (I am able to query the LDAP database while logged into the server).


When I try to set up a thick client, I cannot get it to return anything other than the local /etc/passwd file when I do
sudo getent passwd

Once I reboot the thick client, I am unable to login at all (I guess that LDAP client is trying to authenticate, but failing, and also not allowing local login).* I don't see any error messages on the server (syslog,
daemon.log) - where would LDAP errors be logged?

I see all sorts of tutorials floating around, and have tried bits and pieces of a few.* Same results.

Any hints on a good document?

Thanks,
Charles

It doesn't really help you with your LDAP issues but I would say LDAP + NFS
is probably a better choice. Samba is really meant for connecting unix and
windows, whereas NFS is designed for unix and unix.

Hello!

I have all my users in an ldap and the conneckt the edubuntu server to tht
ldap server.
A also have all the users home on the server ant mount that katalogs to
home on the edu server.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer

this is how you install your ldap server but the clinet part in this howto
i wrong if you using 7.10 then use this how to inseted to connect the
clinet mashine.

http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=597056

Test so that the clinet have connecktion to the server and then proceed to
using nfs.

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo?highlight=%28nfs%29
Here is an howto how to use NFS


U must have a program so that you can manage your users in the ldap server.
Webmin i very simpel and good in this.

Matte,

Thanks!* That was the info I needed.* I have one client now authenticating on the LDAP server and mounting the user's home directory via NFS.* I now understand how to get the rest of them going.

Now for the task of migrating the groups, and setting up the LDAP accounts.* Webmin looks good.


I will document my set up on the school website, and the steps to get it working in the next couple of weeks.*

Thanks again!

Charles Austin
