5 years ago I ran a samba server as a pdc with win98 clients then I went to
a terminal server environment (K12LTSP) with this clients.
Now I am moving back to a samba pdc with win2k clients
Trouble is I have forgotten how I successfully setup the server before.
Could someone tell me if the following smb.conf should work? I loaded my
server with Fedora Core 5 and updated it. Am using the samba that came with
it.
the comments in the middle are reminders for me to do those steps before I
use it. after the smb.conf I have typed the commands I plan to use to add
machine accounts to samba. please let me know if I am on the right track
[global]
workgroup=smsi
netbios name = samba
encrypt passwords = yes
security = user
os level = 65
preferred master = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
domain logons = yes
logon path = HYPERLINK "file://\\\\%n\\profiles\\%u"\\%n\profiles\%u
logon drive = h:
logon home = HYPERLINK "file://\\\\samba\\%u"\\samba\%u
[netlogon]
comment = Network Logon Service
path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon
guest ok = yes
writable = no
share modes = no
###don't forget to mkdir -p /var/lib/samba/netlogon/scripts
###/etc/samba/ testparm -s smb.conf.master > smb.conf
[homes]
read only = no
browseable = no
[Common]
comment = Common Folder
path = /Data/Common
writable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
write list = lmarshall, jkroeker, @admins
[Software]
comment = Software Applications Folder
path = /Data/Software
writable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
write list = lmarshall, jkroeker, @admins
[Trevlac]
comment = Trevlac Folder
path = /Data/Trevlac
writable = yes
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
write list = lmarshall, jkroeker, @admins
commands to run from terminal:
useradd -s /bin/false -d /dev/null computername\$
smbpasswd -a -m computername
then restart samba
it is my hope that this will allow me to go to the win2k machine and ask it
to join the domain smsi using the root username and password to
authenticate the join.
is this all correct?
Thanks so much for any confirmation you can give
