[K12OSN] Linux Auth'ing to Novell Edirectory--Question

[Mike Lichtenwalner]

Hi Caleb,

Guy's directions are great! Check the user creation section of 8.3 in 
the wiki. The important part that you need is a line that looks like 
this in your pam.d files:

auth        sufficient   /lib/security/pam_ncp_auth.so nullok 
use_first_pass ndsserver=Server_Name:ou=Your_OU -d -L  -mMount_Point 
-u2000,4000,pn,gcds -g2000,4000,pn
(Notes: (1) that is all on one line, (2) the -m flag is the name of the 
mount point in the user's home directory, and there is no space between 
'-m' and the name.)

This allows authentication to eDirectory and automatically creates the 
authenticated user/group on the Linux box. The only downside (in my 
environment) is that the Netware home directory is a subdirectory of the 
Linux home directory. If I could get Linux to use the Netware home 
directory as its home directory, I would be an extremely happy camper!

Mike
