I have a linux server and multiple (<10) windows xp clients. So far, each windows client has it's own user and password info stored on it. This slowly becomes harder to manage as a user has to have an account on each machine, and has to change passwords in multiple places. Therefore, I'm looking for an active directory kindof server for linux. I have minimal experience with AD, if it even is available the way I think it is for linux, but I have no doubt I can pick up the administration. Your opinion on your favourite, and why, would be very useful to me. Any tips / howto would also be great. thanks! -- Iain Buchanan My philosophy is: Don't think. -- Charles Manson -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
