Integrating FC 3 and Windows Domain?

[Hasan Basaran]

Hi folks,
I have installed FC 3 and I want to log on my Linux box with Windows Active 
Directory Users account. How can I do this? Someone who did this before 
please tell me the way.


Thank you

Hi there,
in your document, you say that "To include this module as part of the login 
process, change two configuration files under /etc/pam.d (Listing 4-5):"

and also in "Configuration Files" section you say that "Authconfig makes 
changes to three configuration files. Listings 1-3 shows their contents with 
comments and irrelevant information removed."

However there are no such listing in the current pdf document

Fedora 3 instalation for PDC

Hi all

I'm new to linux and I'm intrested in testing Linux as a PDC for a small
windows network.
Could you help me with the best installation setup for the Fedora 3.
I would like to know what modules are the best to install and what type of
install should I do and any other recommendations that you can remember.

For now I have a old IBM Pentium 100 with 64mb ram and a 20gb disk.


Thanks

Rui

For that function and the equipment you listed you will want to do a
minimal install and add the samba packages.  Shut every thing else
down.  You most likely will not be able to run X windows or any of the
windowing systems in just 64MB, at least not that it would be very
responsive.

Recommend you check out some of the online tutorials or pickup one of
the many books on samba to get details on setting up a PDC.

Good catch!  I'm not sure.

Release notes say:

Minimum: Pentium-class
        
        Fedora Core 3 is optimized for Pentium 4 CPUs, but also supports
        earlier CPUs (such as Pentium, Pentium Pro, Pentium II, Pentium
        III, and including AMD and VIA variants). This approach has been
        taken because Pentium-class optimizations actually result in
        reduced performance for non-Pentium-class processors, and
        Pentium 4 scheduling is sufficiently different (while making up
        the bulk of today's processors) to warrant this change.
        
      * Recommended for text-mode: 200 MHz Pentium-class or better
        
      * Recommended for graphical: 400 MHz Pentium II or better
        


Looks like it should work.

Pentium 100 is half what is recommended for text mode - I wouldn't
expect a lot of success here

Never pay too much attention to recommended clock speeds.

Yes, it's important if the job is CPU-dependent *and* time-critical. For
example, you do need a certain amount of CPU power for non-accelerated
smooth DVD playing.

But that sort of job is pretty rare, especially on Linux. Most of the
time, most processors spend at least 80% to 90% of their time idle. A
simple server install is normally not that CPU dependent.

I wouldn't recommend it for doing compiles, or for certain CPU-intensive
spam-filtering jobs. But for everything else, the processor should be
fine.

Use the "top" command or the "vmstat 2" command, and monitor the
"id"
(idle) figure and the "wa" (wait) figure. You're only CPU-bound if both
of those go into single figures. (They represent the percentage of the
time the CPU is idle, or waiting on something like the disk drive).

As has been mentioned, the Original Poster will get *much* better
results if he can find a little more memory for the box.

James.

You would probably benefit by reading this tutorial:
http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/eserver/tutorials/samba/
... largely ignoring the sections on acquiring and compiling Samba 
because it's available for Fedora as an RPM package.

Fedora 3 instalation for PDC

Thanks to all

For what I understand I must install the minimum possible packages plus
Samba, Right?

I have a few more questions ;) Does the FC3 includes Samba 3 package?
Is the FC3 very different from RH9? I'm asking this because I had a
DHCP/Firewall/Router RH9 Linux installation on this IBM and it worked fine
for about 1 year (never made a reboot).

It's not that different from a text-user viewpoint. The main difference
you might notice is udev support.

That's good to know.

And massive speed improvements due to the newer kernel. If you're on the
desktop, it's a world of difference. FC3 is polished.

Yes, that is about the only way you will get this to work on that
system.

Yes.

You will have a 2.6 kernel.  Since you won't be loading many of the
additional applications (GUI and other services) it won't look much
different from other linux systems in text mode.

You should have better hardware support but with the system you have
much of that is not even required.

Just don't expect that box to be a screamer.  :)

But if all you are doing with it is PDC work it should hold up unless
you have thousands of clients.

I will have 10 clients at most. 
I just what to have a central user/group configuration/authentication schema
and Microsoft PDC is out of the question.

There's an Microsoft document describing in detail how to do something 
like that (Windows Server 2003, you'll be using Active Directory for 
storing user info, and Kerberos for authentication). 
Windows_Security_and_Directory_Services_for_UNIX.pdf.  You can download 
it from:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=144F7B82-65CF-41...

It is 400 pages long, but all you actually need is contained in maybe 
20-30 pages somewhere in the middle of it.  Basically the document 
describes how to migrate Unix clients to use Windows based services from 
both implementation and project management side.  For what you need, you 
can skip (large) sections dealing with project management.

With slight modificatins, you can use it to get things the other way 
around too, make Windows machines authenticated against Unix based 
Kerberos KDC.
