{Sorry for long post)
I'm attempting to set up a workgroup share on a RedHat 7.3 box (Samba
2.2.5-1) for a network of Windows XP Pro machines. These machines also
log into a Novell Netware 4.11 server (Client32 4.83e) for email, so I
don't want to set up another domain controller (for more logins) on this
network (academic K-12, lot of teachers and elementary kids).
Netware 4.11 doesn't see IDE drives larger than 8GB; and I'm having to
load about 11GB of educational software on this Linux machine (80GB hard
drives). I'd also prefer to have guest only access to the machine share.
Am I going to have to set this up as a PDC and create machine accounts for
each XP machine?
OK, what I need is to set up a workgroup share. It is named cybered.
Here's the smb.conf:
# Global parameters
