Hello all, |
2 |
My workplace has decided to adventure to lands of embedded Linux. As I am |
3 |
the only one in my department with prior Linux experience, I was given the |
4 |
task of setting up a Linux workstation that will be used as the host machine |
5 |
for our embedded system. Since my only Linux experience with anything but |
6 |
Gentoo is with Debian, and it's a bad experience, I have chosen to make the |
7 |
host Gentoo-Linux. |
8 |
Everything is well, and the machine is running and officially I completed my |
9 |
task, but something still bothers me: |
10 |
The machine is connect to the company's computer network. In the Windows |
11 |
workstations, I log into a user that exists on the company's servers, and |
12 |
not on the individual workstations, and when I log certain network shares |
13 |
get mounted automatically (for example, "My Documents" sits on the server) |
14 |
and so on. My username and password are used automatically everywhere on the |
15 |
network, and so on. I assume this is the working of Active Directory, but my |
16 |
assumption maybe mistaken... Anyway, I want to duplicate this behavior on |
17 |
the Gentoo box, and I could find any documentation about it that I found to |
18 |
be relevant. For now, I have a small script in /etc/profile.d/ that mounts |
19 |
important shares, although the localizations is some what wrong and |
20 |
non-English files appear as question marks (They should be in Hebrew). Can |
21 |
anyone help me or point to some howto, guide, whatever that I might have |
22 |
missed? |
