well the user is me, i will be useing command line commands intermittently and i would like to do so without having to switch users/log out-in again ill be sitting at the Linux box as it is hopefully to become my desktop environment (replacing windows) and to log in i do so (via likewise-open) as DOMAIN\user-name I can then access the machine just fine but normal user permissions any admin level tasks i want to do to the machine i have to get creative or log in as a locally managed user. interestingly enough i can drop to terminal and then su to root but if the application i want has any X interaction it will not work. If i could somehow import the Users i want to give elevated access to the local machine i would know what i am doing from there. but the users that are authenticating from the domain are nowhere to be found. the thread i started at the likewise forums have given me a start but its having issues as well http://www.likewisesoftware.com/community/index.php/forums/viewthread/80/ On Mon, Dec 1, 2008 at 9:49 AM, Bob Elzer wrote: > Is the MS user being added to the passwd file ? > > How will they access the linux machine ? > > Will they be running commands from the command line ? > > > -----Original Message----- > From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us > [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of Stephen > Sent: Monday, December 01, 2008 9:03 AM > To: Main PLUG discussion list > Subject: Re: Ubuntu 8.10 and AD users > > not quite what i am trying to do. > > MS AD network/server > > Linux Desktop > > Wish to use AD user credentials to access local machine. this halfway works. > > I would like to be able to give a specific MS user elevated permissions to > the local Ubuntu Machine. > > granting access to a directory is something i have done before. and > accessing a domain I have done before also. this is right in the middle it > seems. > > On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 10:41 PM, Bob Elzer wrote: >> I think you are looking at this the wrong way. >> >> Active directory is how MS authenticates & shares it's stuff with >> other systems. >> >> So if you are on a linux system and want to access the AD stuff, you >> would use something like likewise or samba. >> >> Now if you have linux stuff and you want microsoft people to access >> your stuff, you need something on their systems to access the linux stuff. >> >> Something like ssh or telnet to login, or maybe an xwindow system. >> >> They need to be authenticated into the linux system, so setting up >> samba would seem appropriate, to allow the ms user to be validated. >> >> The links being posted, all seem to be just allowing the linux users >> access to MS AD. >> >> >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us >> [mailto:plug-discuss-bounces@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us] On Behalf Of >> Stephen >> Sent: Sunday, November 30, 2008 9:29 PM >> To: Main PLUG discussion list >> Subject: Re: Ubuntu 8.10 and AD users >> >> woot thanks, ill have to give this a going over. >> >> On Sun, Nov 30, 2008 at 9:12 PM, Patrick Jacques >> wrote: >>> This is actually a common configuration scenario, but at times it can >>> be a pain to get going completely.
