samba - Jan 1999 - System network Scenarios

I was pondering some things. In order to help people just starting out in
integrating their networks full of miscellaneous operating systems with
Windows machines (NT, 98, etc), a collection of scenarios would be nice to
use as reference for building their own samba networks.

For instance, a typical scenario could be:

NETWORK DESCRIPTION
    1    WinNT (Domain Controller)
    2    Win98 Machines
    10  Solaris 7 boxes
    30  Solaris 2.6 boxes
    1     Solaris 2.6 box (NFS Server)
    2    FreeBSD machines (NIS+ server)

GENERAL NETWORK SETUP

    (THIS WOULD DESCRIBE THE GENERAL NETWORK LAYOUT)

INTEGRATION SPECIFICS

    (HERE would include samba configuration files specific to this
situation, along with
     information on how passwords are sync'd with the domain controller, the
NIS server, nfs, etc)


We could gather a collection of these scenarios, and perhaps help each other
improve upon our layouts.

What do you think?

Hi Kevin,
Yes, I also think these scenarios can help people a lot.
