Hi all, just wondering if anyone is using a Linux-based NAS solution<br>such as OpenFiler (<a href="http://www.openfiler.com/">http://www.openfiler.com/</a>). We're looking for<br>something that would integrate into Active Directory.
</blockquote><div><br><br>I setup a server with openfiler (used one of those dell 2450s that I recently posted in the classifieds) not too long ago. Was able to point it to the AD server at the office - seemed to work - got a list of users and groups and all that.
<br><br>Took me a day to setup and configure. Can't say it's being used as I handed the reins over to the powers that be, but it has not been put into "production" yet - it's just sitting there consuming power. Original intent was to serve up home directories and the like.
<br><br>I did a few tests - setup a share, assigned group/user access - worked as expected. All in all, I'd say it's worth burning a day to play with it -see if it meets your needs.<br><br>john<br><br>P.S. Was able to install the linux version of Backupexec client on the server and do a simple backup ...
