Subject: RE: Ubuntu 8.10 and AD users
Is the MS user being added to the passwd file ?

How will they access the linux machine ?

Will they be running commands from the command line ?

not quite what i am trying to do.

MS AD network/server

Linux Desktop

Wish to use AD user credentials to access local machine. this halfway works.

I would like to be able to give a specific MS user elevated permissions to
the local Ubuntu Machine.

granting access to a directory is something i have done before. and
accessing a domain I have done before also. this is right in the middle it
seems.

A mouse trap, placed on top of your alarm clock, will prevent you from
rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
