samba - Mar 2003 - I can not get into my samba server with my windows machines

Hi,
I am new on Samba, I hope You can help me with the next problem I have:

I already Installed samba and set it up, I can even manage this using
webmin, create the users and all I have imagined to do with its
configuration,  I can see its domain in my windows network but can not
enter to it, it says that is not accesible, I am getting desesperate
because the only way I can get into this server to get its files is via
FTP, this samba server is also funtioning as Squid server but it does not
have any problem.

All my machines are Windows, and they are obviously in my windows domain,
and I want them to have acces to this samba server ( this is in other
domain).........

Muchas Gracias

Muchas,

You need to join domain for the windows users to access the Samba server.
Your current users have different credentials to your Linux/Unix box. I
would recommend you look into winbind too.

Hey guys,
        After rolling out samba 2.25-10 as a pdc which is the stock samba
with redhat 8.x. I am going to document and make a manual with screenshots.
The key items i am going to do are as follows

Document with screenshots for every step of the way.
Explain what is happening when you join a domain.
What to do when things don't work. Where to look what else to try.

There are features that I have not implemented so if anyone has there
documentation expertise would be of great help.

Why another manual? Although many of us do know how to do it i think another
manual that has been beta tested and checked before it gets published makes
a difference. I have seen many docs on pdc but there was something or the
other missing. Being a sys. admin we all say rtfm!! but there are times one
just wants the answers asap and its not possible to find it.

So my expertise is based on redhat on x86,I will address win pc's that are
nt4, xp and win2k.

If anyone is interested to participate i would like to have folks that are
running something on aix,irix, sun, bsd and others, to participate. Yeah i
know we all don't have that much free time. Neither do I but i think for a
lot of newbies who put a post up here can refer to this manual. I don't have
a deadline but i know that i can publish at least what i have on the fly as
we are putting this together.

Please respond to me on or off the list with the subject samba manual.

Thanks,

Raj
