Introduction
These pages explain how to setup Microsoft Windows Services for Unix (SFU) to achieve the following goals:
- Enable Windows users (using their Windows domain accounts) to logon to a wide variety of Unix platforms
- To provide access to a shared set of filesystems as both NFS mounts in Unix and Windows shares
- To preserve file permissions across the NFS and Windows file sharing boundary. These should be visible as UID and GID in Unix and as proper NTFS ACL's in Windows.
- Unix home directories to be stored on a shared filesystem. A set of logon scripts to setup the environment depending upon which platform a user has logged onto
- A build area for source code to be stored on a shared filesystem
- A tests area for QA test scripts to be stored on a shared filesystem
This section shows which SFU components to install and how to configure them to achive the goals listed above.
Usernames - Setting some standards
SFU installation - Which components go where
Server for NIS configuration - Setting up the NIS server
Server for NFS configuration - Setting up the NFS server
File server storage configuration - Creating the NFS folder structure
Populating required NIS maps - Required NIS maps for older hosts
