samba - Nov 2001 - Linux and Windows NT

If I wanted to set up a single Linux workstation on a Windows NT-based
network, should I use Samba? If not, then how would I go about doing it?

Thank you,
                Shawn

I have several Unix machines (AIX, linux, SCO) in a Windows NT-bases
network (including NT domain). I confifigured samba in UNIX as a Windows
workstation, usin nt domain PDC as passwd servers. Just two problem:
Autenthify throw MS proxy server fron Unix machines :((NTLM not supported).
And MS Exchange client enviroment. Just mail me if you want to know more
abaut my config files and procedures ;-).

Samba can make your machine visible to the NTs in the browse lists. It can
allow access to your files. It can be a PDC, but I suspect you don't want
that. It can be a domain member.

If you only want to access the others you can also use tools provided with
samba. smbclient allows ftp-style access to servers and allows printing to
NT printers. smbmount allows you to mount smbfs and get a filesystem view
of servers.

But none of this is necessary to be on the network. Only if you want to
see or be seen.
