Linux and Roaming Profiles via Windows 2k server

[leeanator]

Hi!

I have a question about Suse Linux Professional 8.1 and Roaming Profiles. The profiles are being server via Windows 2000 Server SP3. Can Suse Linux Professional Support Roaming Profiles.

Do i need aditional software for the servers?

If anyone can help that would be great.

Thanx

If you are cunning, you could make this work with smbclient and smbmount, and some scripting.

Basically, I think you'd need to create and mount /home/leeanator to whereever the server says %HOME% is (say \\SERVER\PROFILES\LEEANATOR or something), and unmount and delete when logging off. You could possibly set homedir in /etc/passwd to be %HOME%, but I'm not sure how you would get authentication working... maybe something can be done with PAM? You could write a special login program, that authenticates and mounts %HOME% pretty easily.

Disclaimer - I haven't actually tried it, but can't see a good reason it can't be done.
