Here is the global from my smb.conf:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = 'windows domain' # Windows domain name
server string = 'server name' # name appearing in network
neighborhood
security = SERVER
encrypt passwords = Yes
map to guest = Bad User
password server = COS08 # name of Windows PDC
username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/users.map #map Windows ids to
Linux ids
name resolve order = wins lmhosts bcast
keepalive = 30
os level = 2
wins server = xxx.yyy.zzz.109 #ip addr of WINS
kernel oplocks = No
I can use lower case, my Windows id may or may not be my Linux id, I use my
Windows password and have never used smbpasswd. When I start Samba, the
Linux "computer" automagically shows up in the Windows Network Neighborhood.
The Windows server team did not have to do a thing.
I do need to figure out how to get the printer drivers there.

Subject: Samba users
okay, I'm stumped. I have samba setup and I'm able to use it but how do
I setup other users, easily? Here's the process I've been successful
with thus far: Note: current setup win98 clients, NT server (network
authentication)
1. I setup my network user name in linux (adduser/passwd) Note:
username must match what I log into NT with AND must be in
upper-case. NT must convert to UC cause LC would not work.
2. I create my user from step 1. in samba (smbpasswd -a <username>)
give the same password I user in 1. but not the same password I use
as my NT network password.
I then have to MAP a drive to my samba share \\s390\< upper-case
username>. (Explore - Tools - Map Network Drive). Give my user name
(smbpasswd) and it works! I am able to see my samba share and my
printers I have setup using print-conf.
1. I go into window to setup the printer(s) but (issue #1) no
drivers. I have:
[printer$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /usr/local/samba/printers
guest ok = yes
and yes, I did put the drivers in there. I wound up having them already
in the list but I thought I could pick from /usr/local/samba/printers.
The *.inf is there but I cannot see the directory.
2. issue #2 - user setup. do I have to setup each user this way.
there is a reference to an add_user script. I've looked for this
but so far all I've found are reasons not to post it as "site specific
material". I just want to know what is suppose to look like and I'll
modify it to my site.
regards, j-me
