Samba Configuration
I am new to Unix and Samba.
I want to create a share a folder on a UNIX box (using Samba) The path will be: /test/abc/files I also want the samba box to be part of an NT domain. My questions are 1. How do I create an smb.conf file to cater for these needs. 2. How do I add the Samba box to a domain 3. How do I add these users to the Samba platform Thanks in anticipation Mil |
I suggest to download the two guide of samba from www.samba.org under documents section.
You can find solution to your answear. Sorry, but I'm newbie so I have little of difficulty to well answer you. |

2. I have never done this, mine has always been in a workgroup environment. Samba 3 supports AD so you may want to make sure you have the lastest greatest Samba. I know you can setup your samba box to be a PDC to MS boxes but not sure if Microsoft will let you "add" a *nix box so you can authenticate with windows. You could put the MS Domain name in the "Workgroup/Domain" paramter and it should show up in MS Network Neighborhood. 3. Create accounts on the *nix box to match those on your MS domain controller. Hope that helps a little. google may be your best friend in this case. Someone tell me if i'm wrong in my answers. I found this, it might help you find the answers... http://www.winnetmag.com/Articles/In...ArticleID=8490 Netizen |

Samba as a domain member
I am trying to get a samba server join an NT domain. Thereafter, I want to be able to see shares created on the Samba server from my NT box. Please what steps do I need to take to make this possible?
Thanks in advance Milton |
I suggest you read the docs that come with Samba - they explain a lot about how to do such stuff. Things to watch out for are the usual stuff about being Administrator or such to join the domain in the first place and once you've joined the Samba server to the domain you need to use your NT domain administration tools on your PDC to grant access rights to domain members in addition to whatever you do in setting the shares up in your smb.conf.
Not done this myself as I've set my Samba server up to be the PDC. That way there's only one place to look and manage everything. There's also some good stuff in this link which although being a hands on tutorial contains an awful lot about how SMB works. http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/guide/ |
EzehM, I'm merging this with your other thread to keep the discussion in one place.
