Hello All, I had read in a magazine article about how to map a samba share to a NT server, and then re-share that share to all windows pcs as if it was physically located on the nt server. Basically making the users think the share lives on the nt server, but really it lives on the samba server and the nt server is re-sharing it. Does anyone know how to do this?? Thanx in advance, Lee Leahu lee@ricis.com
that's really a windows question not a samba question... I imagine that you would serve up the share on the samba box as usual (see the howto collection) then map a drive to that share on the NT finally creating a new share of the mapped drive on the NT. this strikes me as a "bad idea" because you are using bandwidth on 3 switch ports instead of two and you introduce latency of the NT proxy i think you should just put more storage on the NT or actually switch to samba. brad On Tue, 2002-04-02 at 11:19, Lee Leahu wrote:> Hello All, > > I had read in a magazine article about how to map a samba share to a NT > server, and then re-share that share to all windows pcs as if it was > physically located on the nt server. > > Basically making the users think the share lives on the nt server, but really > it lives on the samba server and the nt server is re-sharing it. > > Does anyone know how to do this?? > > Thanx in advance, > Lee Leahu > lee@ricis.com > > -- > To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the > instructions: http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba > > >
If you have a linux box, you can use smbmount command to mount the NT share and then create a share of that mounted NT share.
