samba - Jul 2004 - Configuration of Samba 2.2.8.a for Solaris

Hi all,

I installed samba successfully on our Solaris8 server. A friend who had
previously installed and configured samba told me that at some point in the
configuration samba will ask you to enter the NT domain administrator's
password for it to be able to join the domain and be able to communicate with
it. Would you please tell me what script/command I need to execute to allow me
to do that. As it is, with normal installation and activation of the smbd &
nmbd daemons, I didn't get to a point where it would ask me for any NT
administrator's password.

As always, I appreciate your help and wish you a great day.

Thanks.

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba-Guide.pdf chapter 9 has all the details 
you need. While the book (it is available from Amazon.Com as "Samba-3 by 
Example") is oriented around SuSE and Red Hat Linux, the basic steps apply
to
any Samba implementation.

If you still have a problem contact me direct.
