Hi All,
Just a bit of PDC confusion on my part.
1) I do not give machine names a password. Am I
correct?
yes.
2) I am presuming that machine names are used to
limit what machine user names can have access to
to the samba server. If Foo has an smb username
and computer A has a machine name, but computer B
does not, then Foo can enter only through computer
A. Am I correct?
No, The machines are added to the samba server so a SID can be generated
for it (for identification).
3) If I am correct on #2 above, the machines that
do not have a samba user can get around this by
entering as a workgroup. Am I correct?
4) When joining a domain, the user name and password
requested is the root's or whatever alias that smbusers
points to and not the machine's name. Am I correct?
It has to be a user on the box with a uid of 0 (as far as I know) so
root would be the user.
