No, it doesn't seem reliable. Samba resets the permissions on the smbpasswd file at various times. I did get it to work, but I'm not sure it will be stable enough to deploy. We will investigate further, as using "admin" would be ideal. > The steps I went through: > > 1. Installed Gordon's new RPMs > > 2. Ran the expand template and smb reload commands > > 3.

The new e-smith-lib sets the "root" smbpasswd entry when you set the system password. > [...] > 7. As root: "Welcome to the mitel-networks domain". Yes!!!! Yes, root seems to work fine. > [...] > 9.

It was suggested to move from .profiles to .profile as it is a profile (singular), but .profile is the initialisation file for the Bourne shell. ._winprofile was a very safe (._ prefix) choice from the Linux side and works fine for Win98 and WinNT. We can easily put it back to .profiles or something else if there is a problem. > [...] > I guess one of the basic questions is "does the NETLOGON share get mapped > as Z: the same way it does with Win 9x"?

Sorry, I haven't checked the mapping - something is mapped to Z:, sometimes.
