Hi..
I'm using Samba as a PDC at my work place with win98 workstations ( one day it
will be upgraded to Linux.. :-) and here is my smb.conf ( the main issues ):
[global]
workgroup = blabbla
netbios name = BLABLABLA
server string = Samba Server %v
encrypt passwords = Yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
max log size = 50
time server = Yes
socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=8192 SO_SNDBUF=8192
logon script = %U.bat
domain logons = Yes
os level = 34
preferred master = True
domain master = True
dns proxy = No
printer name = hp940
[finnancit]
comment = Finnacit
path = /mnt/s_data/blabla/finnancit
valid users = @accounting
force user = accounting
force group = accounting
read only = No
inherit permissions = Yes
as you can see I'm running a script to map the users net-drives at login time.
I'm forcing all shares to be forced written as a specific user and group. I
use it for security resones since I'm handling many user groups with diff.
permissions ( I couldn't come up with better idea so if you got some other
idea don't be shy.. )
all win9x stations can read/write Hebrew file names ...
I cant see Hebrew file names from the server when I'm running in terminal of
konqueror but it never troubled me as long as I can run backups and restores
from tape and everything works fine.. ( could use a tip to see those file
names in Hebrew on my server side.. )
I'm running Samba on my local net at home with win2k as a client and it works
the same ( file names R/W in Hebrew ) though I'm not running that server as a
PDC..
hope it will take you some where..
