I have a linux server doing e-mail and ip masquerading, and samba file sharing. I want to make it so unauthorized users can't access the web. Current Setup: 10 Windows 95 (few 98) clients doing nothing special. Using windows logon (anyone can log on). Smaba file sharing is set to user, so when a client goes to a shares it asks for a password and uses the username from the windows logon as the user name. This works fine. Web access goes through junkbuster and then apache's proxy module (client's setup to use server:8000 for web). I believe that I could have apache demand authorization when a web browser connects, but I don't want users typing in their username / password everytime they open a browser. Can I use samba? If I switch from windowws login to domain (samab) login, can I do this? Is there a pam module (or something) to check if the specificed computer (ip?) has been sucessful logged in. Also, if the linux server spontaneously explodes, will windows user not be able to user any networking? We have some critical file sharing done between win95 computers that I don't want to go down if the linux server does. (If I have domain logins and the server is down, windows client must hit cancel on login and then can't use network neighborhood and peer-to-peer file /print sharing, right? Thoughts, suggestions, comments, etc.. Thanks, Ben P.S. Thanks Chewis, that was helpful, I'm downloading the stuff now. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
