I've set up this red hat linux 7 server and a few nodes at a local computer institute as a favour to the admin there. As the admin isn't really a linux guy, I'm called upon to do even the simplest of tasks like adding users and stuff (as there are about 5 or 6 new users everyday, you can imagine what a pain that is).
What I would like to know, is whether it is possible for me to set up the linux server so that it uses the Win2k advanced server to authenticate. That'll save me a lot of work because accounts are automatically created in the Win2k server for each new student. I've currently set up the linux nodes to use NIS to authenticate users(I've used NIS because security isn't really an issue here because the LAN isn't connected to the internet and the average student is too dumb to use windows 95 let alone hack a red hat linux server).
TIA,
cgkanchi.
