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running a domain controller on Mandrake see http://ranger.dnsalias.com/mandrake/muo/co...ct/csamba6.html (it is a bit outdated though).
