Hi All,

I require some help setting up Mandrake and Samba. I want to install Mandrake on a server and using Samba setup as the domain controller allow Windows 98 clients to logon to the domain and access resources.

 

I have been using the Mandrake quick server guide however don't seem to be getting far. I require some urgent help.

 

Please email me if you know how to acheive this or know someone who can.

 

I look forward to hearing from someone soon.

 

Cheers All,

 

Vardin.

I would suggest just editing the file /etc/samba/smb.conf with an editor you are comfortable with. Easiest way is like this:

Start->Applications->File Tools->File Manager (Supoer User mode). hit F9 to get the directory tree, browse to /etc/samba/ and right-click on smb.conf, and choose to edit in an editor you like (Kate is ok).

 

Otherwise, you can also try this copy, which is a minimally modified version of the default config file (only uncommenting the domain controller options). You will want to just change the workgroup:

http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/samba/...controller.conf

 

If you are going to join win2k/winxp pro machines to the domain, you need to add an smbpasswd for root:

 

# smbpasswd -a

 

Then, when joining the machine to the domain, use the username 'root' and the password you entered above.

 

For a bit more on running a domain controller on Mandrake see http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/muo/co...ct/csamba6.html

(it is a bit outdated though).
