We have dos,windows 31,95,98, and NT workstation here. samba act as a domain logon server. for dos and windows 31,95,98 it is very good. but for NT workstation i don't know how to configure.... i make the "netlogon" and "profile" share. and NT client can logon. but how do i prevent NT to write files to "profile" ?? we just want NT workstations to act as 95/98, and we don't need any "roaming profile".. in fact, our clinet want to use the same username/password to logon, and "roaming profile" is doing the wrong things for us... Can NT-workstation logon to samba and keep the user right at local machine ? for example : we have a user account "tbsky" at NT-workstation and we create that account at samba. and make some shares avaliable for "tbsky" (at logon script) Now, can we use the name "tbsky" to logon samba, get shares , and keep the rights at local NT-workstation ??? Thanks for Reply !!! Best Regards, Tbsky
