There is an excellent book about Samba: 'Teach yourself Samba in 24
hours'. See your local bookstore or read about it on
htpp://www.amazon.com.
It has a seperate chapter that describes replacing NT by Samba
step-by-step.

I'm just curious, what is the security or other advantage of having
two nic cards ?

Login as user and then issue command
su - root
Now you will be root and all aliases and settings are correct.

It depends on what sort of fileserver you want to run.
There's an SMB-HOWTO for setting up Samba (file server for Microsoft Networks),
an NFS-HOWTO for setting up the Network File System file server, and an IPX-HOWTO
for setting up an IPX server like Mars-NWE (file server for Netware).

Start with this link....very good stuff. There are also a bunch of Howto's
(security, ipchians etc)
www.enteract.com/~lspitz
PS - don't fix your current install - you will need to reinstall from
scratch (ie format-install)

I am finding that remotely administering my server is somewhat difficult. I
can't use the commands that I need to to be able to modify the system setup.
How do I enable these commands in Telnet? I am assuming that they are
disabled by default because of security reasons.
