Hello!
I work at a school in Norway, and am experimenting with a Linux box as a server
for our Win95 network.
Most things seem to work like they should, except one important thing: The user
profiles are _only_ stored on the local machine...
I am running Internet Explorer 4.01 with the Users function enabled. The network
setup is as follows: Samba box as WINS server. "Log on to Windows NT
Domain" is checked. Primary logon is Client for Microsoft Networks.
The Linux box is running RedHat 5.0 and Samba 1.9.18p4.
My smb.conf file is attached.
Thanks in advance for all help!
:)avid

smb.conf follows:
------------------------------------------
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example
#
# Any line which starts with a ; (semi-colon) or a # (hash)
# is a comment and is ignored. In this example we will use a #
# for commentry and a ; for parts of the config file that you
# may wish to enable
#
# NOTE: Whenever you modify this file you should run the command
"testparm"
# to check that you have not many any basic syntactic errors.
