OK here we go. Can anybody help me in putting a Linux-box with SAMBA in a Windows 2000 ADS environment? My goal is to have this Linux-box sharing merely a printer and $HOME directories. What I would like to know (and learn) is: - can I achieve my goal with Samba-2 or should I use Samba-3? - how may I give permissions on my [printer/file]-share to AD Users? - is there a precise walk-through which I should follow to get my Samba integrated into the actual ADS (Windows 2000 Server)? Thank you. -- ----------------------------------- Boniforti Flavio Provincia del Verbano-Cusio-Ossola Ufficio Informatica Tecnoparco del Lago Maggiore Via dell'Industria, 25 28924 Verbania -----------------------------------
