I need a little better information regarding the mapping of groups between an NT PDC and a SAMBA PDC, which trust each other. On the NT machine is a group called "ntgreen." On the Linux box (running RH9 with Samba 3.0), there is a group called "lxgreen". I've done a: net groupmap add ntgroup=ntgreen unixgroup=lxgreen. The mapping shows up in a net groupmap list.

I have the following situation: a network with 30 Windows NT Server on different sites, 800 clients with Windows XP; I want to migrate to Samba instead of Windows 2003 Server, but I have the effort to manage group policies, domain policies and workstation policies on the XP Clients; is there a way to solve this without Active Directory e.g. Samba with LDAP??

I can't get the XP home edition on my network to accept "net use H: /home". It works on my Win2000 box. I am running samba 2.2.5 Is this a limitation on the home edition? Is there a work round? The command net user %username% /DOMAIN for a valid username does return data which includes the path to the home share, so I can't see why it should not work. David Lee
