Chapter 11 CHAPTER 11 Single Sign-on with Samba for Mixed Linux/Windows LANs 11.0 Introduction As delightful as it would be to have a job where you have to deal only with nice reli- able Linux boxes, the reality is that mixed networks are more usual. The real world demands that we know how to integrate multiple platforms, primarily Windows, Linux, and Unix, with occasional dashes of Mac OS X and Classic Mac. This chap- ter tells you how to integrate Linux and Windows, as those are the dominant platforms. Unix and Mac OS X are similar enough to Linux that you can figure them out pretty easily. If you need help with other platforms, or with running a Windows domain, please see Appendix A for good reference materials.
