Description Casual J. Programmer 2007-04-12 08:06:04 UTC 
When setting up a mixed Windows / Linux infrastructure sooner or later problems arise in getting SAMBA and CUPS (LP) to work properly.

Finding out the necessary steps is not trivial and usually ends up in having to find out that for SAMBA and CUPS (LP) there need extra users to be created, mainly manually. 

These users usually happen to be identical to existing Windows / Linux users.

I suggest, that YaST2 User Management is enhanced in a way, that enables SAMBA, CUPS(LP) and possibly other products users by just checking a box.

I.e. "is windows (SAMBA) user yes/no" or "is CUPS(LP) user yes/no" plus the intended rights.

Isn't this exactly what samba-plugin for yast2-users is doing?

Only for samba and only when LDAP is used as the user database. To me it seems this request is about non-LDAP users, as LDAP is not mentioned anywhere.
Comment 3 Jiří Suchomel 2007-04-12 15:08:30 UTC 
so it is feature 302012
Comment 4 Casual J. Programmer 2007-04-13 05:49:42 UTC 
Well, actually I didn't mention LDAP because it did not spring to my mind. 

My intention was to suggest management of ALL users from one point. From my viewpoint this would be YaST User Management
Comment 5 Jiří Suchomel 2007-04-13 06:23:56 UTC 
Yes, that's the point of (internal) feature I mentioned.
Comment 6 Casual J. Programmer 2007-05-10 11:23:50 UTC 
"Yes, that's the point of (internal) feature I mentioned."

Where is this feature located, or how is it accessible ?
Comment 7 Jiří Suchomel 2007-05-10 11:32:14 UTC 
Because it is internal, it is not accessible. It is part of regular feature process.

Comment 8 Jiří Suchomel 2007-06-20 08:33:17 UTC 
unfortunatelly it looks like there are not enough resources to implement it
