I am in the process of building a new server running SAMBA for personal storage. We are getting away from shell accounts (no logins) and name space management will be handled by Active Directory. The user will not have local account and therefore no entries in the password file (it's all being handled by SAMBA and Active Directory). I also want to continue to use the public_html mechanism. The real path is /home/CATNET/users/<account-name>/public_html. Since users won't have a password file entry, how do I tell Apache to use that path when the GET request is /~account_name?
Found the answer. Configure the UserDir as follows: UserDir /home/CATNET/users/*/public_html -- Rob --------------------------------------------------------------------- The official User-To-User support forum of the Apache HTTP Server Project.
