Help with Red Hat Networking
 

I need help accessing an NT Server through a Red Hat 7.1 Linux workstation. I don't know if its even possible but if you can help out any i'd appreciate it. thx

Could you be alittle more specific? Alot of questions
come to mind :-)

Do you want to mount shares on a NT Server or do you
want to authenticate to it? Or do you want to use it's
WINS server to resolve dns/netbios names? Or do you
want to route through a linux box to the nt server?

If you just want to access files and dirs from the NT box then you need samba installed. If you have samba you need to mess with the samba.conf file.

in the Conf file set:
workgroup = 'your domain here'

uncomment
encrypt passwords = yes
smb password file = /etc/passwd

Type this under the remark suggesting enabling 'specific roving profile share'
[Computer name]
path = /
browseable = yes
guest ok = yes
public = yes
writeable = yes


Then run:
samba start

This should let the NT box see you and you can mount a shred NT folder to a local folder by typing:
smbmount //NTbox/sharedfolder /localdir

This worked for me hope it can help.

Well, at school we have an NT Server that the test is on every morning and i just wanna know how I can take the test in red hat. I'll try the Samba deal thx.
