Untill now,I can't see linux box in our NT network.
First I have several questions:
1.If I set "netbios name = XXX" should the linux box appear in the
network as
XXX?Or if not,should it appear as my linux's hostname,or anything else?
2.I have also used ip_address based serach in windoz neighbourhood but the same
result.(I'm sure the network connection is OK.I can use smbmount and
smbclient)
Does that means anything?(I'm sure NetBeui and tcp/ip is installed in
Windoz)
3.I think the key is in [global] section,since all other sections are about
directories!Is that right?
4.In our NT network,a user can't access the network until he logon.But he
doesn't need to logon to be SEEN by other logon user.In this case,should I
set some password related items in smb.conf?If so,which item should I set?
"password server" or anything else?
5.I'm sure the smbd and nmbd are running.They start as daemon at boot.
First is smbd,and nmbd follows.Is that order right,or it doesn't matter at
all?
Finally,in Linux I can't successfully ping the machine by name in our LAN.
.I can do that with ip address in Linux.And windoz is all OK.Those machines
doesn't have a name like this:machine.domain .as you know,in windoz,a single
machine name is enouth to be realized by others.I can successfully ping the
machine with that style name after I set the same dns server as windoz in linux
,but the same to those machine with a single name.Is this normal?If not, how to
solve it?
Thank you!
