    greetings,

    — the field of joy —
    i’m trying an authentication with 10.4.4 Client and Server.
    The real home folder on a linux box are mounted via nfs to the Xserver and then remounted by AFP on the client.

    my question:
    is there a strong need of having all those boxes within one subnet to
    avoid ‘you cannot login into …. home folder is on an APF or SMB …’

    thanks to all replying ..

    Why don’t you just mount direct from the Linux box to the client?

    We do this at the moment with panther-clients and login/logout-hook scripts. The disadvantage here is the mapping of linux/apple attributes and the need of cleartext passwords for smb mounts.
    The same stuff with tiger won’t run.
