Re: [PLUG] nis or ldap


Using smbpasswd will keep Linux and Samba passwords in sync. WinXP can use encrypted passwords (I've never changed the registry in XP to connect to Samba). I thought a limitation would be mounting of home directories, but I can think of how to do it.

- Keeping passwords sync'd between linux and Samba. (Only a problem if your
MS users also log on to the linux box)
- MS Windows XP has a registry entry for encryption that must be unset for
XP to work properly with Samba.
