Hi. I will configure a webhosting network that will serve PHP and ASP pages. PHP pages will be served from a freebsd server and that's it ! For the ASP server, I want that w2k authenticate to freebsd and then the ASP webpage will be retrivied in freebsd to IIS. So I want a central server for logins and files in FreeBSD that w2k can acess. I've searched google and I think the best way to do this is using NIS+NFS. W2k authenticates using NIS and if it's requested an ASP web page it will be served by IIS using the ASP files in nfs/FreeBSD. So it comes another problem: nis+nfs clients to w2k ... It seems that Microsoft as a product called "Services for Unix" in http://www.microsoft.com/windows/sfu/default.asp that have these clients. Anyone tried this ? It's stable ? Other possibility (if i understand right) is to use Samba as Active Directory to authenticate logins and serve the files by shares. Is this possible and stable in Samba ? Other possibility is CHilisoft ASP but it's not current as it only support ASP 3.0 and I will need .NET too. Ao this option is discarded. Opinions ? Thanks !
