This has probably been hashed before ... I'm running Solaris 2.7 and want to use this as a server for a couple for workstations (Windows2000). I've recently installed some printers on the network via jetdirect servers. These seem to print OK from UNIX (I haven't properly set the capabilities yet ... however I guess that willl work soon - also been playing with HPWebAdmin stuff). Anyway I have Samba 2.07 working as a server, using a workgroup. I currently have set Win2k to use the workgroup, but then of course I log-in locally to the PC. I would like to automagically log-in I guess to the domain, and then have the printers and home dirs automagically mounted. Does this mean I have to upgrade to 2.2. There is another quirk, I have a laptop which I use at my main workplace (another company, different domain etc), I would like to just plug-into the network here, and again all shares to work. I'm using DHCP to set various things, but the workgroup stuff seems to be "hardcoded" into Windows (well you can set-it, but manually). IS this at all possible ?

IS this at all possible ?You should (when you login) be able (to setup &) choose which domain you want to login. The you get the profile for that domain. /James -- Technology is a word that describes something that doesn't work yet. Douglas Adams

It lets you set up diffrent locations, and manage shares and printers and dialup and network on a per-location-level. Then you jsut select your location at boot time, and everything is fine :) -- Andreas Marienborg +47 92 28 63 82 omega@palle.net www.palle.net

I remember that I still have these lines in my smb.conf at work and if you can't find your way let me know.
