Mounting windows shares with Active Directory permissions
- by Jamie
I've managed to get my Ubuntu (server 10.04 beta 2) box to accept logins from users with Active Directory credentials, now I'd like those users to access there permissible windows shares on a W2003 R2 server.
The Windows share ("\srv\Users\") has subdirectories named according to the domain account users and permissions are set accordingly. I would like to preserve these permissions, but don't know how to go about it.
Would I mount as an AD administrator or have each user mount with there own AD credentials?
How do determine between using mount.smbfs or mount.cifs?
