I recently installed Samba-2.0.6 on my machine. I copied the smb.conf over from another, working machine that I just got rid of. Anyway, I can't seem to get things working. Here are some files: when I 'restart' nmb in SWAT ---(log.nmb): Netbios nameserver version 2.0.6 started. [2000/02/02 13:33:19, 1] nmbd/nmbd.c:main(747) Netbios nameserver version 2.0.6 started.

I noticed briefly in one of the README files that support for SAMBA acting as a PDC was experimental. I was curious if anyone could point me to the right developer list or what not to find out more about this. I'm interested in participating in testing and development. Thanks, Nick

Next I put a shortcut on each desktop which executes //server/share/Update.exe. Then I resend a canned e-mail to Update your virus definitions. People that resist doing this on their own, get a scheduled task added to their desktop when I discover a very old definition. Not great, but it almost works. ==================================================Bob Hillegas | voice: 713.681.8481 x3065 IS Staff | cell: 281.546.9311 Gamma Biologicals, Inc. | e-mail: bhille@gammabio.com ===================================================

I have to do it manually, because inside Norton's virus definition directory are several files and the name changes with the date they create them.
