Hello. I am new to both Linux & Samba. I am still running Samba 2.2.8a. I have just received new PCs and they are XP based. The rest of my network is Win98 boxes. I have studied Using Samba by O'Reilly press and cannot quite seem to grasp the following: When the guest account is mapped to the default: "nobody" and my Win98 boxes log in, very frequently (but not always) their home directory will map to / on the Samba box and in "My Computer" it will show as: "nobody on S" for the drive description. This is easily stopped - change the guest account to "what" and add "nobody" to invalid users. There is no "what" account. Now I have XP. With no valid guest account, I cannot log onto the Samba PDC. I vaguely understand that 98 and XP use different methods of joining a Domain. (98 really doesn't) But I can't seem to translate this to how to have my cake and eat it too. Or in other words: guest account for XP and proper home drive mapping for 98. Can someone point me in the right direction? T.I.A.
