Hi Cheng, In this case, I would once again suggest that you look at winbind -- all users, including linux, are setup only on your windows 2k box -- linux logins check there for authorization. > they log into Linux, auth by a nis server (should migrate to ldap). yes and no -- you are probably a good candidate to wait from samba 3.0 which should be supporting active deirectory (assuming that you are running active directory) >\\winserver\users\share from the windbind doc ... template homedir When filling out the user information for a Windows NT user, the winbindd daemon uses this parameter to fill in the home directory for that user. If the string %D is present it is substituted with the user's Windows NT domain name. If the string %U is present it is substituted with the user's Windows NT user name. Default: template homedir = /home/%D/%U it's there! finally, checkout rdesktop (www.rdesktop.org) -- you can have your windows desktop in a linux x window! cheers CC
