I am faced with the unenviable situation of a definite M$ bias. Our network folks will not let me set up Samba as a master ANYTHING. I am not sure what to tell the network folk in order to have my samba definition on Linux participate in the local windows arena.
The machine's DNS name is 'rockhopper' but I am not certain what workgroup to tell them and I am not finding anywhere in the SMB.CONF to specify what domain (even if that's needed) to be in. This was their last response to me - Basically they're not sure either. -------------------------------------------------------------- Can this live in a Windows NT network domain as a member server? LAN Services would probably not allow it to act as a domain controller within one of its domains without psychotically intensive testing. Since Windows NT uses NetBIOS as an APPC protocol, I'm guessing that your machine would need it to be part of a domain. Maybe not. Dunnofersure. As far as the DNS name is concerned, I think that we would need to add it to a WINS database unless users would access it through a TCP/IP client software package instead of their Windows Explorer. Dunnofersure on that, either. Chris -------------------------------------------------------------- If anyone has been down this road before, please let me know. -J
