Mounting samba directories as /home
Hi all, I've been trying to get my Samba home directories to mount as
/home/username for users for awhile now, with a lot of problems and would like
to see if anyone has good suggestions, or example working configs ;)
Here are my two relevant lines in fstab:
//BBM/user1 /home/user1 smbfs
credentials=/etc/samba/credentials/.user1,uid=506,gid=501 0 0
//BBM/user2 /home/user2 smbfs
credentials=/etc/samba/credentials/.user2,uid=511,gid=502 0 0
Problem 1) This seems to work as long as I'm in console mode, but as soon as I
try to run X I get errors that it cant' create the .Xauthority file
I'm just working with a couple users right now (user1 and user2), but would like
to see if there is some way to work it for all users in /etc/fstab like doing:
//BBM/user$ /home/user$ smbfs ....etc....
these home directories are mapped to Windows workstations as the I: drive for
each user in the Samba domain.
Also, I authenticate all my linux users against openldap on BBM, but haven't yet
gotten Samba to authenticate my Windows users against it. Would it help if I
got that piece working ??
Thanks for any insight.
