Running Linux/Samba File Server on Novell Network
I am trying to set up a department file server. The Samba/Linux combination is what I am most familiar with. We are currently running a NT workgroup, no PDC, Novell netware clients, on a Novell network. I have set up Samba file servers before, but only on an NT server network. I just need to know if this will simply show up in the network neighborhood, and our group can map drives, etc. Our user authentication in through Novell, and the NT stations have to be set up for each user (no PDC). Will there be any problems seeing the Samba server on the network from NT, (will IPX and SMB peacefully coexist). Lastly, how could I run the Samba server as a PDC to eliminate having to setup each machine for every user, am I looking at big problems with the Novell server. Most of the mailing lists info I have seen says to dump the Novell server entirely, but I don't manage that one, and that's a little more than I had in mind. Thanks Dan Naughton
