samba - Feb 2002 - Questions about a working Samba PDC

Is there anyway to have roaming profiles OFF by default? If I add a user to
a machine, I always have to go and set them to a local profile.

Is there anyway to do groups? When sharing files or printers, I would rather
add a group than each individual user.

I have one Windows XP Pro client and when I do sharing permissions it comes
up with this search interface and it can't find any of the users on the PDC.
Anyone know what's going on with that?

Best guess from my own recent experience is that XP is expected to be part
of an Active Directory tree.  Type what you know to be the username and a
dialog box will pop up asking to authenticate if your not already logged
into the domain.  You will have to love in as your samba root account using
syntax of domain\username in the user field and whatever your password is in
that field.  Hope that helps.

hi all...


am new to samba and this list and i want a couple of my doubts
cleared...

my questions could be silly...and i wuld be even happy if i am replied off
the list...

1. I am trying to print a file from my mandrake machine using a windows
9X printer connected across the room. The printed page is
haphazard....just one line gets printed.

i issue smbclient //nwm/H

and then smb:\> print a.txt


2. Is is possible to put a set of winNT machines onto a local samba
domain and try to get the logs of what the system is doing

3. Is it possible to print to a unix printer from a win9X/NT machine
.the printer is connected to a sun box .

thanks for ur time
