I am a novice,attempting to use samba for the first time.
My aim is to get my linux machine to join an NT Domain consisting of a PDC, an
NT workstation,and a windows 98 machine.Ultimately, I want to share files and a
single printer with this machine and to access the internmet via the NT
SERVER,whch incidentally already acts as a proxy for my other machines.
So far I have assigned an IP address to the Linux machine and can successfully
ping all the other machines.
My questions I guess are numerous,but are all borne from this:
Should I begin by installing Samba on the NT server(this machine serves as a
PDC,AND GATEWAY TO THE INTERNET)? Or,is samba to be installed on the Linux
machine?And,precisely,what is my next step toward attaining my goal?
And,my gateway runs Acer's SYGATE Server software.
Can some one help?

After I installed samba-2.2.3a, I was able to access my files and other
users had the same success, but on Monday I am not able to get all the users
to map their folders to Windows boxes. After a certain amount of users are
using Samba, the rest are not able to use it. I did not have this problem
when I was running Samba 2.0.7. I am using the same smb.conf as before.
When I try to find the SMB server in network neighborhood, I get error
message saying that is not available when I try to open it. When I run
smbclient from another HP-UX 10.20 workstation, I get the following:
$ ./smbclient -L cfs-smb
INFO: Debug class all level = 3 (pid 26700 from pid 26700)
added interface ip=136.202.18.99 bcast=136.202.18.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
session request to CFS-SMB failed (code 0)
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (code 0)
At the HP-UX 10.20 server I installed Samba 2.2.3a I run smbclient and I get
this:
$ /ots/samba-2.2.3a/bin/smbclient -L localhost
added interface ip=136.202.18.25 bcast=136.202.18.255 nmask=255.255.255.0

added interface ip=136.202.28.102 bcast=136.202.28.255 nmask=255.255.255.0
read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by
peer.
session request to LOCALHOST failed (SUCCESS - 0)
read_socket_with_timeout: timeout read. read error = Connection reset by
peer.
session request to *SMBSERVER failed (SUCCESS - 0)
log.smbd has the following entry everytime some one tries to login:
[2002/03/05 11:19:13, 0] printing/nt_printing.c:nt_printing_init(260)
nt_printing_init: Failed to open nt forms database
/var/adm/samba/var/locks/nt
forms.tdb (No locks available)
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks,
