Re: Single sign-on in Linux ?

[Yonah Russ]

Active directories is very heavy on kerberos- it's theoretically 
possible to use the same kerberos for both the active directory and 
linux- I've read you can even convince active directories to use a linux 
kerberos server.

I only briefly looked into this b/c it means switching to kerberized 
deamons, etc. very annoying.

I personally think the way to go is a TACACS+ server with an LDAP backend.

Hi list.
I recently read somewhere about kerberos 5 mentioned in the same sentence with 
single sign-on. I wonder how can I get single sign-on on my Linux 
workstation ?

I currently log in using the office's Active Directory (winbind 3), use some 
windows and samba file servers, fish and FTP, and maybe HTTP logins (we have 
squirelmail for accessing the office mail server, and sometimes its useful to 
use it instead of kmail or whatever). 
I would like to have as little password typing as possible after the inital 
login (lets put aside for a while SSH key exchange and password wallets). is 
there any way to get at least SMB access a-la-windows ?
