For those who were wondering...and those who are not.

I'm working my ass of at the lokal supermarket. It's ok work, with good pay. Still doing college, so that takes up a lot of time. Also I've got a new webdesign job to do which has to be up and running at the 1st of november. I'm probably not gonna make that, but I'll try.

Got a big ass college project which requires me to link up Novell, Windows 2000 Server and Linux Redhad 8.0 into 1 user DB across all the servers. Also I need to make it so that a user can login at any workstation (easy part). Gotta run several services (web, FTP, news). And need add package distibution so the workstations get updated on login. I've got a big part done, but still need to add linux into the user DB part. Any of you guys ever done this? Any tips or tricks?

Anyway, that's what I'm doing...

no tips but all the knowledge you have can be fired over my way

Here's a tip...

dropout after you drink yourself to death or get expelled, then collect welfare not doing a fucking thing, and drink more...move to Mexico where everything is cheap and drink some more, hang out at the beach and drink...die early either by liver disease or getting shot while trying to rob the local mart for some drinks!

:)

I concur.

So have you got a small enterprise or something? And do you pay taxes? :P

sorry dutch all way above my limited knowledge of networking & dB'ing... glad to hear things are going well for you though.

mr firewiz i'll have a bottle of beer please! :)

Awai.

what kind of db you using? Hopefully something sql based like orical or mySQL, that'll make it easy for the linux users to log into

In all that "to do list" i dont see your girlfriend.
do her first and the wory about win2003

and good luck

I'm using E-directory to link them all up...it sets up a DB system that all OS can read and then syncs them to eachother. Also installed a package (DIRXML) to manage the Novell server and E-dir online.

Ofcourse the GF comes first, that goes without saying. I do her more than enough :P.

Street: Nope not tax paying, I do that enough with my regular job...firewiz, rad and the likes need some money too ;) :P

Boss, if you seriously need the info, lemme know and I'll send you the dutch version of my report that I have to write anyway. You can then translate it yourself :D

go for it DK,

i am wanting to learn german, and i hear they are similar.. so i guess i will have to get me a translation dictionary

\

I will have a look into it when i get off work m8, recently set up a hetrogenous network with a user DB but in a different way to what you have. I will have a lookinto what reserch i gathered at home though.

Similar and yet so different. I'll translate for you, 50 cents a word since we are fellow nfmers.

this might help wiz but it might not, the latest version of samba is active directy complient. So if you run samba on the redhat mathin it should be (SHOULD BE) easy to add the linux box into the circle. NOt sure if it will work with the novell but i know that u can setup the samba linux box to be active directy and basicly be a secondary domain server. It uses policys and groups and users and maped directys.

Yup that should work, too bad that Novell doesn't integrate with the Active Directory...
