First of all, I'd like to thank everyone who gave me ideas on where to
look for the problem of my Linux box not showing up in the Network
Neighborhood:-)
Next, I'd like to tell you all that I found the problem, and I really
feel silly about it as it was due to the way I had set up the netbios
name in smb.conf, instead of using one word, it got split into two
words:-0 ("net bios name" instead of "netbios name"). I think the
reason that I could find the computer tho was because it was being
located according to its "dns address" and that is the way it is located
according to lmhosts:-)
But with all the digging going on, I thought I was going to have a
couple of more questions:-), but once I got my "netbios name" set
right, the paths to the command files, well, everything worked (as far
as login scripts and preexec/postexec) worked:-). I had to set up the
95 machine to make it think it was logging into a nt machine, and now a
little screen pops up "wait while processing login scripts", and then
when the script/batch file ends, it pops up and says you have been
logged onto the domain McClatchey by Office as Doug with User
privileges:-) (Now just need to work out how to view the samba
statistics from the 95 machine:-)
But to a different point of view:-) I know I can set it up via crontab,
but that would be global, and I don't really want to do it that way,
what I would like to do is set up a schedule similar to netware where
during certain time frames, certain users are not allowed access to
specific services. I do have quota active, I also am pretty sure that
accounting is also activated. I have discovered once I had Samba
working correctly, that if someone tries to log in with an incorrect
password, they can't get into win95 unless they give the correct
password for the network:-) And apparently, it goes according to
whatever password has been set up in Linux:-)
Also, whenever win95 first boots up, it tells me that a netware
compatible script is not available. I have not yet been able to find
any docs on this anywhere! I think it may have something to do with nis
which I have not yet figured out:=( Is my guess correct?
Thanx Loads:-)
