Integration how tos

Chapter 7.

This chapter describes how to integrate a Linux client into an existing Windows 

domain (NT4 or Active Directory). Many integration issues are covered, including 

mounting home directories from SMB shares at logon.

The sections in this chapter are:

7.1,  How to join a Windows domain  on page 134

7.2,  How to use winbind to make domain users known locally  on page 136

7.3,  How to authenticate users against the domain using PAM  on page 139

7.4,  How to automatically mount home directories at logon  on page 143

7.5,  How to use network printers in the domain  on page 147

All examples and how tos in this section assume at least Samba Version 3.0. 

Some of the functionality is either not present or not mature in earlier versions.
