Good Afternoon Newsgroup,
I run a small office file server (FreeBSD 4.7R) to serve 3-5 Windows2000
maschines (laptops and 1 desktop).
Originally we only had a Windows Workgroup, and I run Samba on the server to
provide shares of various kind.
Order came, the Windows maschines had to be re-configured to join a
WorldWide company domain (the same name as the workgroup was) and the
Windows usernames for that domain are different from the ones we had
locally. As these names are issued centrally from our hedquarters, I cannot
change them as I wish.
The original setup worked like this.
My laptop had a user ID for me, named KNagy.
I created a userID on the FreeBSD server, named knagy, password is the same
as on the Workgrouped Win2000 maschine.
Samba was running, shares worked fine.
I loggod on locally on my Win2000 laptop and could easily connect to the
Samba shares on the BSD server.
Now, the DOMAIN connected Win2000 has my userID as Keve.Nagy
I figured, if I could somehow create some sort of alias to my old knagy user
with the name keve.nagy, that would do the trick.
So I actually plan to use the same userID (knagy) but logging in or
Samba-connecting under a different name, keve.nagy.
Is this a very insane idea or this can actually be done somehow?
Any suggestion or comment is welcome!
Thanks,
Keve
