Current Setup:
Bunch of Sun SPARCstation's running Solaris 7 in a NIS environment.
I have installed Samba 2.2.5 on a host 'A' (NIS Slave). Basic set up
is
working fine.
Meaning, I can mount unix fileshare on windows system.
OBJECTIVE: The idea is to mount some UNIX file systems on Windows at boot
time and make it available to all users
using Windows.
To accomplish the above, I thought of installing Samba Server as PDC. But I
couldn't create a machine$
account on Solaris 7 using 'useradd'. Therefore, I created an machine
account manually and tried to insert '$'
using 'vipw'. This doesn't work also. Due to this, I could not
create
smbpasswd database in /usr/local/samba/private directory.
It is possible that I don't need a PDC setup on Samba Server to solve my
problem.
How can I set up Windows 2000 server or SAMBA not to ask username or
password when using
following command at Windows server BOOT time. 'testco' is a sharable
partition on the unix host on which Samba is running.
net use t: //hosta/testco
Any other solutions will be appreciated.
Thank you very much.
