I am new to samba but becuase I use squid and I want to track my authenticated users I installed samba 3 but keep hitting dead ends on how to add it to the domain etc. I can't seem to even get the smbd to startup. I got swat keying into the smb.conf but it ended up in another directory so I don't think that is configured. I can't even find good documentation to see if samba is even running. I run a fairly large Active Directory. I woldn't mind opening up Samba to do more chores in my domain but not if I can't get it going. What would be the best reference book. Sorry to ask so many questions but my Google searches did not get me to-the-point info that I need. Thanks for any help Gary Hostetler

Sigh! Check out: http://us1.samba.org/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf You might also check out Amazon.Com: The Official Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide or Samba-3 by Example Please let me know if you need more information.
