Read the docs more closelyy;-)
I have set up Samba as a PDC (on IA32).
For each NT, W2K and XP system you need a computer account:
useradd computer$
smppasswd -a -M computer
for all relevant values of computer
root needs a Samba password, I don't think it has to be the same:
smpbasswd -a root
Each Nt, W2K and XP machine has to join the dommain. See
control-panel/system/identification. You need to specify the root user
and root's SMB password as the domain administrator.
If you've set up [home] properly in smb.conf then users' home
directories appear automatically as z:
Win9x family will work if you have the above working but you don't need
to add each machine. Any machine plugged into the network will work.
Including my laptop if I have n account on your system;-)
If you setup netlogon then you can have logon scripts - per user, per
machine or onw for all - as you choose.
You can create the logon script with vim, be sure to "set
fileformat=dos"
