I had a search around, and if you haven't found it, this is the best bit from the Samba.org site:-

http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/...tml#ads-member


also an important bit at the bottom incase the servers are Windows 2003 servers:-

I Can't Join a Windows 2003 PDC

Windows 2003 requires SMB signing. Client-side SMB signing has been implemented in Samba-3.0. Set client use spnego = yes when communicating with a Windows 2003 server. This will not interfere with other Windows clients that do not support the more advanced security features of Windows 2003 because the client will simply negotiate a protocol tha both it and the server suppport. This is a well-known fall-back facility that is built into the SMB/CIFS protocols.


ALSO a few neat tips.......

1) if you want to test stuff, without hassling a domain admin,
run:
kinit Administrator@your.kerberos.REALM
but use your name instead of Administrator and password
* if you get an error, there is a problem with your setup
* if you get a prompt, your setup is fine and you can communicate with the domain (and it's time to hassle the admin)

2) Note the use of uppercase for the realm in krb5.conf it's really really important (and in the command above)
so if your domain is
cool.com
try kinit me@COOL.COM

as lowercase will produce an error.


3) Once it all works, you should be able to:-
smbmount directories using:
smbmount //server/share /mount_point -o username my_username
(password asked for)

then check you can ls on the directory (if you get permission denied your not part of the domain)

4) Domain users should be able to access your samba shares without passwords (ie. using their domain permissions)

Have fun, and let me know if I can help

Oh nooo.

The IT-department brought me a new computer and start from CD is killed stone-dead .

This is f*cking unsporting

I'll try to wheedle it out of them in time but this will take some time. Argh. Well, at least thanks for an instructive thread anand_kt and gwiz42 .

Then you have two possible options (though they might be out if they are playing the security game)

1) Do you have a floppy - if so get a "universal boot floppy" (not sure where I got mine from but if you have trouble, let me know and I'll mail the image to you) - this will then boot a CD regardless of bios settings

2) if the bios has boot from USB you are laughing (it should try automatically, but if not, look for the F12 for boot options (or similar)

if you have USB booting try any of the following:
a) then buy a USB pen drive for small linux (eg 1 or 2 GB) or better still a 1GB SD card and a USB SD pen drive (this means you can use multiple SD cards for the same pendrive

b) get a laptop drive and USB case for it (this makes a superb portable drive which is cheaper still if you know someone who has a spare 10gb laptop drive )

c) buy a usb hard drive and have a bootable linux in one partition and a full one in the other


If none of this works, there are still things you can do to play with linux:-

1) try CYGWIN - it's a redhat linux environment run within windows (not really a full distro but you will still learn heaps)

2) some linux distro's can be booted from within windows (not sure which ones off the top of my head)

3) some distros can set up dual booting by installing from a windows partition first

4) VMWare workstation- a superb application. you can get a free 30 days trial and install linux within windows. no change to the system (apart from installing VM) but when in full screen you wouldn't know the difference.
UNOFFICIAL HINT - if you download the beta (5.5) you can keep getting more keys every month until they release it - and i think its only £120 if you can persuade the company you "need it"

That's all I can think of for now

They do -- understandable, considering the circulating malware...

Here my luck runs out. USB is totally blocked for storage devicdes . Access to the BIOS is denied to users ...

Alas, no booting (see above), but just for my understanding: What is a SD-card?

You definitely have a fertile imagination, compliments . Regrettably all of those options fail in the face of our security regime which denies installation of anything to users like me...

Tough luck about the USB or installing.

I can't find the floppy on the web anyplace, so I've made an image and posted it on my site here: http://www.epyream.com/pictures/Usef..._boot_2_cd.img

use rawwrite to put it onto a floppy - but please note it will appear unformatted DO NOT FORMAT FLOPPY

it has a modified boot sector and will boot from CD just like it would from BIOS

I used it to boot from CD on a laptop that couldn't do it from BIOS

as long as you can boot from floppy it should work
