Derek, Thank you again. I had gotten the server to the point where I could shut it down with no problem (I believe that I shut off or didn't install NFS). I will try your way though, as I need to get this server going on my RAID 5 array. I also had winbind working correctly except for the fact that I couldn't enumerate users or groups.
The main reason that I am asking about all of this is because I was able to get a RedHat 7.3 server integrated into my Win2K domain - fully - using the latest version of Samba and Winbind. I am unable to do it with previous versions of these two programs. Also, Mandrake 8.2 is the only Linux OS that I can install on my RAID 5 setup (Adaptec 2110S - Fujitsu Ultra 160 SCSI Drives) and I like the admin tools better than RedHat (not that RH isn't good too). I will try what you have suggested, and read more of the documentation. Thank you for your help.
