Hi Finn-Arne, how are you?

Just for clarification: Does it mean, that I have to do all of these three steps in a row? Any machine needs first to be added using lwat, only then I can join from the client (but I still need to follow that 3rd step?). And what kind of machine name would that be? Is it still the case that I need to define hostnames locally on the machine - or do XP clients obey name rules given to the dhcpd server?

Maybe we should ask Mr. Murray of MS: He was so affirmative towards FOSS in BBC's "Codebreakers" documentary. *scnr* > > >> it is important, to get R1 runing without problems with window > >> workstations, that means a corrected and improved smb.conf > > He did not need to do no change at all in smb.conf. Maybe not as for joining clients, but some people suggest at least one public share additional to H:\ (home). The easiest and wides approach to follow such desires was to share /tmp (or /tmp/samba) and make it a net drive "T:\". Other schools use r/o shares P:/ for portable apps and other centrally installed programmes. Also classwide shares are used in several settings. I doubt if we will ever find one model matching any flavours - but it could be made easier to have class homes. Yet another point discussed was profiles (mandatory like KDE kiosk, invisible, not synced to local hard discs). Alas, I am quite bad in guessing as it comes to Redmond's opaque policies. Kind regards, and as a conclusion: try to write at least 3 words with any wiki edit. Bye Ralf.
