[Samba] Samba 3 as Both PDC and File Server
Can Samba 3 be configured to serve simultaneously as as a Primary Domain Controller and as a file server? I just installed SuSE Linus 9.1 Pro and its Samba setup system allows only a choice of EITHER a PDC or file server but not both. If it can serve as both, does either your "Guide" or "How-To" document show how to set up the Samba configuration file? Thank you very much for your help. Kenneth Russell

There are far too many options to go into detail about, but what you need, basically, is the following [sharename] path = /path/to/files Add more parameters to suit your purpose. If you're using SWAT you can simply use the 'shares' page to create the share definitions and to see help on the parameters.>Thank you very much for your help. > >Kenneth Russell > >-- Paul Gienger Office: 701-281-1884 Applied Engineering Inc.
