kinit problems

Hscheffers,

IMO the main reason why there might not be much of a response is that you went off the beaten path by following the Gentoo Wiki.

So, some questions are in order…

  1. Have you much experience administering an AD or is that something you’d rather not touch? AD admins brag about how they use and configure GPOs. If you administer a larger company you may know something about Domain Trusts. You may monitor and configure machines remotely using AD. Do any of thoose things apply to you?

  2. How did you select the Gentoo Wiki?

  3. Is there some reason you want/need your non-Windows machines properly registered in the AD? Windows Security is fundamentally based on User authentication and authorization, machine authentication is optional. This is how and why a User can simply logon to their openSUSE with Domain credentials and immediately fully access Domain resources without further Admin configuration and involvement.

  4. Do you have an idea exactly what you need and want from AD? If you want more than what I described in (3) above, there is software that will give you more AD capabilities normally only for Windows like Linux Host health monitoring, patch management, more.

HTH,
TSU
