Greetings all:
I currently have three Windows NT 4 domains. I'm evaluating the switch
to either (at least) a mix of RedHat Linux or a total switch to RedHat.
For file serving processes, I'll utilize SAMBA.
For my first test, I've been looking at/trying to duplicate and then
replace the services of my least obtrusive server - our Proxy Server -
with an older workstation for the Linux machine. One of the core
functions of this server (outside of Internet Access) is handling our
FTP site. Currently I have the folders (directories) that house our FTP
site open to the Internal LAN so my users can deposit files on to them
without asking (bugging ;-) ) me. So, of course I want to do this with
Linux/Samba. I've got the machine running - using winbind to
authenticate users at the domain controllers and not locally. But I'm
having a sporadic problems with the Linux machine "disappearing" from
network.
Let me try to be more specific:
Linux Machine info:
Gateway 2000 GP6-350 (Pentium II 350) with 256MB of RAM
2 Network Cards - 3Com 905CTX (eth0 "External"), Netgear FA311
(eth1 "Internal")
RedHat Linux 7.3 (all latest patches from Red Hat Network
yesterday)
SAMBA 2.2.6 (from samba.org yesterday)
Built SAMBA with the "--with-winbind" switch
