| | | |
| + | SME Server's has been and remains focused on serving windows clients, however Linux clients also work well with SME Server. |
| + | |
| + | These instructions are current for Mepis 7.0 and SME Server 7.3 |
| + | |
| + | Client configuration was originally based on http://tech.canterburyschool.org/tech/UbuntuWorkstations. |
| | | |
| ===Domain Login=== | | ===Domain Login=== |
| + | A Domain login lets users login without admin setting up each user first. |
| | | |
| + | ====Client configuration==== |
| + | apt-get install winbind libpam-mount |
| | | |
| + | nano -w /etc/samba/smb.conf |
| + | |
| + | workgroup = 'Your Windows workgroup' # probably correct, you set this during install |
| + | security = domain # edit, set to user |
| + | wins server 192.168.1.1 # edit, to your server IP |
| + | ;password server = * # remove line |
| + | winbind uid = 10000-20000 |
| + | winbind gid = 10000-20000 |
| + | template shell = /bin/bash |
| + | template homedir = /home/%U |
| + | winbind enum users = yes |
| + | winbind enum groups = yes |
| + | winbind cache time = 10 |
| + | winbind separator = / |
| + | winbind use default domain = yes |
| + | acl compatibility = winnt |
| | | |
− | ===Mounting Shares===
| + | nano -w /etc/nsswitch.conf |
| + | |
| + | passwd: compat winbind |
| + | group: compat winbind |
| + | shadow: compat winbind |
| + | hosts: files wins dns |
| | | |
| + | nano -w /etc/pam.d/common-account |
| + | |
| + | account sufficient pam_winbind.so |
| + | account required pam_unix.so |
| | | |
| + | nano -w /etc/pam.d/common-auth |
| + | |
| + | auth required pam_mount.so |
| + | |
| + | ## will validate ONLY off of network |
| + | #auth required pam_winbind.so use_first_pass |
| + | |
| + | ## will validate off of EITHER network or local passwd db |
| + | auth sufficient pam_winbind.so use_first_pass |
| + | auth required pam_unix.so use_first_pass |
| + | |
| + | nano -w /etc/pam.d/common-session |
| + | |
| + | session required pam_unix.so |
| + | session required pam_mkhomedir.so umask=0022 skel=/etc/skel/ |
| + | session optional pam_mount.so |
| + | |
| + | optional, do later if needed, add to |
| + | nano -w /etc/hosts |
| + | 192.168.1.1 YourServername |
| + | |
| + | /etc/init.d/samba restart |
| + | /etc/init.d/winbind restart |
| + | |
| + | If you misconfigure a file and lock yourself out of the workstation <br> |
| + | hit spacebar at the grub prompt <br> |
| + | change to root=(leave as is) single <br> |
| + | login as root and check your config files |
| + | |
| + | ====Connect to domain==== |
| + | on SME 7.3 and above |
| + | |
| + | On the client [''Workgroup'' is your SME Server Workgroup] |
| + | and admin may be any user in the 'domain-admin' group |
| + | net rpc join -D '''WorkGroup''' -U admin |
| + | |
| + | Log out, and now you should have all your SME Users in your login 'user list' |
| + | |
| + | ====Mounting Shares==== |
| + | pam_mount works well if you use domain logins, other methods are too much trouble. |
| + | |
| + | mount your server home directory and ibays |
| + | |
| + | nano -w /etc/security/pam_mount.conf |
| + | |
| + | volume * smbfs servername & /home/&/Desktop/& uid=&,gid=10000,dmask=0700 - - |
| + | volume * smbfs servername ibay1 /home/&/Desktop/ibay1 uid=&,gid=10000,dmask=0700 - - |
| | | |
