Winbind Ties Linux and Windows Sign-Ons Together
You keep hearing "Linux is like way cool! Use Linux!" Linux is cool, and even useful, but migrating from other platforms or integrating Linux hosts into an existing network takes a bit more work and knowledge than giving a careless wave of your hand, which is a minor detail that seems to escape the attention of enthusiastic Linux evangelists. Most sysadmins do not have the luxury of starting from scratch, and must make do with existing setups of varying (in)sanity and (il)logic.
The premier program for integrating Windows and Linux is Samba, which ace admins already know and love. Samba can be a cross-platform print and file server, a primary domain controller for a Windows LAN, and even a full member of an NT or Active Directory domain. The difficulty with running mixed Linux and Windows networks is managing user and group accounts and logins. The two platforms manage them in very different ways, which makes it difficult to integrate the two. A common method is to maintain two duplicate sets of users, groups, and passwords, which of course is less than ideal. (The word "sucks" can be confidently applied to this scenario.)
Fortunately the brainiacs behind Samba invented winbind to provide a unified logon, thus saving overworked admins from silliness like doing everything twice, and users from the horrors of trying to track what they are logging into, and which login to use. Winbind lets a Linux box become a full member of a Samba, Windows NT4 or Active Directory domain, and view Windows users and groups as Linux users and groups. All user and group queries from a Linux box are resolved by the domain controller.
Winbind is ideal for admins who wish to add Linux workstations or servers to an existing Windows domain. This allows a graceful introduction with a minimum of hassle. Servers and workstations slide right in without troubling users or bothering pointy-haired bosses.
