! 13: <H3>Introduction</H3>
! 14: <P>
! 15: This file describes issues associated with accessing a LON-CAPA machine through
! 16: Samba. This allows Microsoft machines to mount portions of the LON-CAPA machine
! 17: as file space (useful for an instructor).

! 20: <H3>Password Synchronization</H3>
! 21: <PRE>
! 22: Can we sync samba password file space mounting with a kerberos v4 system?
! 23: The answer is yes-no-maybe so. It is doable via kerberos v5
! 24: only with Microsoft Windows 2000. Samba supports kerberos v4 but requires
! 25: instructors et al to change their windows settings to send plaintext
! 26: passwords over the net as opposed to encrypted passwords.
! 27: Can we even sync samba password file space with unix password file space?
! 28: ONLY if we script something that crypts both (assume a user has
! 29: already been added, this script invokes both usermod and smbpasswd...
! 30: similar to http://adis.on.ca/School-doc/Highschool-HOWTO-1-4.html)
! 31: so I guess, if instructors want to have samba access be the same
! 32: as pilot access, they must actually "sign-up" somehow everytime they
! 33: change their pilot password :(
! 34:
! 35: #! /bin/bash
! 36:
! 37: # /sbin/newpasswd

! 125: <PRE>
! 126: Run these commands to sync the passwords.
! 127: cat /etc/passwd | mksmbpasswd.sh > /etc/smbpasswd
! 128: and run, per-user this command (for the users you want active)
! 129: smbpasswd johndoe88 (but then you have to type in the passwords)
! 130: (this refers to Step #0, the whole password issue)
! 131: </PRE>
! 132:
! 133: <H3>Process control</H3>
! 134: <PRE>
! 135: Run /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
! 136: Run /etc/rc.d/init.d/inet restart
! 137: </PRE>

! 139: <H3>Notes</H3>
! 140: <PRE>
! 141: Be patient. In 10 minutes or so, Network Neighborhood
! 142: will do its poorly designed Bill-Gates rhumba and realize your
! 143: computer is indeed samba-ing on the network.
