i am new to samba i want install PDC on debian2.6 with xp prop. please help me
Hallo, Samantha, Du meintest am 06.08.09:> i am new to samba i want install PDC on debian2.6 with xp prop.Do you need a "PDC" (something like a Microsoft controller, with Microsoft behaviour), or do you need a Samba server for Windows clients? PDC leads very quickly to LDAP, and that's another problem. If your Samba server is the only SMB server in the LAN then security = user passdb backend = tdbsam is a simple and well working solution. Viele Gruesse! Helmut
Dear samatha You can samba as PDC in place of Windows AD. Clarify your requirement, do u want tdbsam to store your users and computer account information or ldap database for same. If you opt for ldap, other than samba you have to configure openldap server. If you are at initial stage i will recommend to use tdbsam.

Quoting Samantha Bandara (hera_hms at yahoo.com):> i am new to samba i want install PDC on debian2.6 with xp prop.Hello Samantha, I am one of the maintainers of the Samba packages in Debian. Please note that I am not a Samba developer myself and not necessarily a Samba expert. Still, we need to narrow down your problem. I'm not really sure of what you exactly mean by "Debian 2.6". I don't think there has ever been such version of Debian, so I suspect you're mixing this with the version of the Linux kernel. Could you please give the output of "cat /etc/debian_version"? Have you installed samba already? If you have, have you used the packages provided in Debian or did you do so manually by recompiling the sources?

You can also use SWAT to handle other tasks such as setting up network shares and printers.
