Re: Samba as alternative to NetServer - How to use USRPRF Password

Hello Jim,

Is NFS a potential solution? User authentication happens with the PID/UID
that is a part of the user profile so they are tied together.

To be precise, this is not authentication but authorisation. Authentication takes place on the Windows PC when people sign on there.

I'd recommend to not rely on easily "fakeable" UIDs as sole security measure in relation with Windows.
