Can't anyone with a knoppix cd create the right uids/users and mountthe users home directory without any authentication?



Fair comment. I control my LANs, but I see how I could lose control.

If samba can authenticate against LDAP maybe I could use samba toshare the home directorys?

Samba's not a goer. Doesn't do Unix permissions. It's a Windows/OS/2sharing scheme.
