[SLUG] Linux & Windows Integration - Follow Up


Thanks to Andy and Jon and others.
The early testing of this system seems to indicate that the best and easiest setup is to have the directories on the Linux system, share them using Samba and then have NT map a drive to them when logging in. As long as the user exists in both systems they can then get into their own directory and nobody else's. If the user doesn't exist in Linux then the share doesn't even map. means two user lists to manage (but only one password list), but we do this already for AUC and the same data list can be run through scripts on NT and Linux to automate the whole process.
