Hello Again All; I am still without migrating from an NIS environment to AD/FDS for all of my machines, Windows as well as Sparc/Solaris 8-10 and Linux machines. Back in October I started a thread that seemed to have gone nowhere and would like to restart this thread. It is my understanding that I must use FDS to serve as the middleware for auth and perms between my UNIX machines and my AD servers, I have four of them. I merely wish to have my Solaris and Linux machines use the credentials on the AD environment versus what I am doing now, YP/NIS. Has someone done this sucessfully? If so, may I ask if you found a doc anywhere describing this? Thank you, /vp >From: "George Holbert" <gholbert at broadcom.com> > >Vadim, >This is a pretty big topic. >Gary Tay has put together some docs that are a great starting point: >http://web.singnet.com.sg/~garyttt/ > >Sun's docs regarding Solaris clients will also be useful for you: >http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/816-4556 > >One other thing: > >>My goal is to migrate my Solaris and Linux machines onto the AD structure >>for user, group, hosts, networks and netgroups map use (perhaps other maps >>later). > >If you mean that you will be using AD as your directory server, you won't >necessarily need to run a separate directory server like FDS. > >Good luck! > > >Vadim Pushkin wrote: >>Hello All; >> >>My current environment is using NIS (not NIS+) on Sparc Solaris 8/10 and >>x86 Linux, with a separate AD structure.
