Hi ,

you have to install nss_ldap libraries and define attributes for schemas in windows 2000 ADS server for unix user information.

For easy integration , use ad4unix package to do the same.

For windows to use NIS services and NFS services you have to install Windows Services for Unix (SFU).

Hi,

nss_ldap is installed by default in RH9 installations.

rpm -qa | grep nss_ldap

otherwise your installation CD will have the rpms for installation.

ad4unix is also available publicly.
