Use of raw SMB over TCP/IP (No NetBIOS layer) can be done only with Active Directory domains. Samba is not an Active Directory Domain Controller: ergo, you can not run Samba as a domain controller and at the same time NOT use NetBIOS. I am rectifying the documentation so as to remove all doubt. Also, WINS and NetBIOS node-type are features of running NetBIOS - the documentation was just plain crazy - it was wrong and misleading and is being fixed. - John T. -- John H Terpstra Samba-Team Member Phone: +1 (650) 580-8668 Author: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO & Reference Guide, ISBN: 0131453556 Samba-3 by Example, ISBN: 0131472216 Hardening Linux, ISBN: 0072254971 OpenLDAP by Example, ISBN: 0131488732 Other books in production. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
