We have here at work several linux computers
that seem to be participating in the WinNT domain - that is :
- using a windows computer I can mount shares from
the linux computers
- using a linux computer I can mount shares on
windows computers
- linux computers authenticate users against the
PDC
in order to get this behaviour we just wrote
"security = server" in the smb.conf, and assigned the proper values to
"workgroup" and "password server".
for the third feature, we use pam_smb but no
special configuration was needed - putting the correct values in the config file
seems to do the trick the problem.
except for one computer (which doesn't seem to
behave differently then the other in the sambe department) we didn't use any of
the methods described in the "sambe in a windows NT domain" help
file.
The only thing I couldn't figure how to configure
is printing to the network printer (managed by the PDC).
