I've got the only Linux client in a large Windows network.
The servers are all Win2003 and all of the other workstations
are WinXP. The network uses Active Directory for all
logon/validation, HTTP proxy, FTP proxy, etc.
The Administrators want me to make my Linux pc 'play nice'
with the Windows domain.
How do I setup my SuSE Pro v9.3 workstation so that it
works with the Active Directory servers just as the
WinXP workstations do (single-signon, etc)?
Thanks,
Larry

This claims to work:

You didn't ask my opinion, but my own view is that you're (somewhat)
compromising your SUSE box's security model, if you do that.

Thanks for the link.
I don't think I'm going to have much choice in the matter...

Being a network administrator for the past 20-25 years or so I have a
potentially stupid question:
Isn't that the job of your net admin?
What are they hoping to gain from this little exercise? Besides, I'm
guessing, getting management to make you use a Windows box.

I'd say yes, but I suspect that as he's the only one with a Linux box, then
they've agreed to this on the understanding that he does all the work to
[gl]et him use their Windows net and they have no support calls from him.

You want to go it alone, we won't support you. But if he does make it work
and then shows them less hassles from malware, etc then he's liable to be a
big advert for Linux in his place of work; soon everyone'll want a box like
his?...

That's probably what the Windows admins mean by "playing nice" [grin].
