Yes, for now you need to add the machine using lwat, or some otherway (I usually prepare the machines from the command-line, using ldapsearch | some loop | ldapadd But that's me. for a later version of lwat, it's planed to implement another way of adding multiple hosts, see http://bzz.no/lwat/trac/trac.cgi/ticket/10 > And what kind of machine name would that be?

Give them the same name as you give them in XP. I think he named his host "myws" or something like that. >> I've experienced that even if one rewrite smb.conf to use the script >> smbaddclient.pl, things wont work. but I'm not sure why. > > 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).
