tag 626736 - pending thanks Hi http://bugs.debian.org/626736 ,
There were interesting discussion on the system integration with Windows. http://bugs.debian.org/649265 I also did some readings. Summary is as follows as I understood: == General Windows and Linux integration guide == http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/index.html == Hostname resolution == * Hostname resolution is mainly done via DNS on modern systems (MS/Linux/Mac) http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc730775.aspx New Mac origin Bonjour multicast (zeroconf, avahi) DNS responder supplements this. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonjour_(software) * Usage of NETBIOS for the hostname resolution were popular for archaic MS systems such as WfW3.11. == DNS and DHCP integration == On Microsoft System: * http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc787034(v=WS.10).aspx On Linux system: do this with bind9 and Dynamic DNS * http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/DNSDHCP.html * http://wiki.debian.org/DDNS == Authentification for UNIX and Windows systems with Windows Domain == * http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/winbind.html * user and group can be integrated among UNIX and Windows systems by enabling the libpam-winbind package and winbindd(8). It requires you to set /etc/nsswitch.conf and /etc/smb.conf. --- /etc/nsswitch.conf --- passwd: files winbind shadow: files group: files winbind ------------------------------ --- /etc/smb.conf --- [global] # separate domain and username with '\', like DOMAIN\username winbind separator = \ # use uids from 10000 to 20000 for domain users idmap uid = 10000-20000 # use gids from 10000 to 20000 for domain groups idmap gid = 10000-20000 # allow enumeration of winbind users and groups winbind enum users = yes winbind enum groups = yes # give winbind users a real shell (only needed if they have telnet access) template homedir = /home/winnt/%D/%U template shell = /bin/bash ------------------------------ == Hostname resolution (backup) == (last resort solution involving very old NETBIOS system such as WfW3.11) * Add wins to /etc/nsswitch.conf to enable NETBIOS hostname resolution. (Windows for Workgroups etc.) --- /etc/nsswitch.conf --- hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4 wins ------------------------------ Hmmm .... this is still too much. I need to think a bit to fit this into Debian Reference. Osamu
