Just post the success story when you're done! -- Regards, Doug To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
Re: FreeBSD + samba PDC vs Win2K clients
Hi Andrew, Thanks for contacting me, Dude., You'd never believe this, but I was following that very IBM article mentioned in your reply and I finally got the Welcome to domain box pop up for me. I clicked OK on that, and the machine went through the You must reboot in order for the changes to take effect bit. The machine back alright, but when I attempted to log as an ordinary user, I got a message saying that no profile could be located, and that a local profile would be used instead. Clicking OK on that, however, brought up another message saying that no *local* profile could be located either., so a Temporary profile will be used. I *can* now see my other *NIX machines on the network, and the user is able to browse the network (love the look of the H drive showing up!) as well. Not sure of the profile errors though.., here's what my smb.conf has concerning this: # Samba config file created using SWAT # from localhost (127.0.0.1) # Date: 2002/10/30 23:39:22 # Global parameters [global] workgroup = VICKIANDSTACEY netbios name = DEMON server string = Samba Server encrypt passwords = Yes log level = 2 log file = /var/log/log.%m max log size = 50 domain admin group = root wheel logon script = %U.bat logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U logon drive = H: domain logons = Yes os level = 64 preferred master = Yes domain master = Yes wins support = Yes admin users = root wheel hosts allow = 192.168.1. 127.

RE: FreeBSD + samba PDC vs Win2K clients
I am thinking about doing this at home for *cough* fun, but I have XP as a desktop. Could you post the link to the IBM article in question, I think it would be good for the archives. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions;FreeBSD.ORG] On Behalf Of Stacey Roberts Sent: Friday, November 01, 2002 12:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: FreeBSD Questions Subject: Re: FreeBSD + samba PDC vs Win2K clients Hi Andrew, Thanks for contacting me, Dude., You'd never believe this, but I was following that very IBM article mentioned in your reply and I finally got the Welcome to domain box pop up for me.

Re: FreeBSD + samba PDC vs Win2K clients
On my network I have a w2k server and a freebsd box,linux box and win95. I can see the linux and frebsd boxes and browse them from the win95 client but can only see them and not browse from win2k srvr. I am also very interested in this article and would love to see the post as they evolve.
