How do i connect my redhat linux9 pc to a windows 2003 server that is also domain
Hi
Pls. help me out
I have tried to configure samba, but the resut is not comeout
I have domain in my network based on windows 2003 server.
I have instaled linux in a separate computer in the same network but not able to communicate with linux pc and domain. So Pls. guide me the step by step
I have the same problem, even i am trying to find out the solution for that, i had tried couple of utilities like linneighborhood and others but none of them is working, i had even posted my question on the forum, hope to get some reply for somebody
samba will not solve your problem, becuase the basic purpose of samba is to "accessing linux machine from a window environment, but it will not do it other way
do the following and u'll be able to excess the windows machine from a linux box
1) edit your smb.conf file and set the workgrou parameter same as of your windows, in case if u have a domain environment set the domain name in the smb.conf
eg:
WORKGROUP = (either ur workgrou or Domain name write it here)
2) make sure ur smb and nmb services are running, if not then start them
eg:
service smb start or restart
nmb by default start automatically
3) go to ur redhat icon on the lower left hand side of ur screen, click it and u'll c network servers icon there, click it workgroup icon will appear., double click it u'll c the windows machine there, double click, it will prompt u for the password
How to creat samba user is mentioned below
1) make sure u have one user availabel in ur linux box other than the root user
eg :
# smbpasswd -a (user name which is available in ur machine)
3) go to ur redhat icon on the lower left hand side of ur screen, click it and u'll c network servers icon there, click it workgroup icon will appear., double click it u'll c the windows machine there, double click, it will prompt u for the password
How about if I am running Fedora C5 ? Where to find the icon you mentined above ?
Thank you !
Well i haven't work on FC5 yet & doesn't matter even if you are unable to see the button as what i have mentioned, instead what you can do is, on a command line just type the command "smbtree" it will prompt you for root password if you give it if you don't simply press enter, then open the nautilus manager and type "smb:///" which will give you all the machine available on the network, just to clear if you are unsure about how to open nautilus, type the same word on the command line and you'll have screen infront of you, then type the "smbtree" in the space given for the url
