samba into windoze world


Proclaimer : I am Windoze idiot.

What I want to do?
I want to make my Slackware box samba into the windows network.

Information:
It is a corporate windows network. I have no idea how the hell it is setup. I know that Windows XP authenticate into a central server. Probably a domain server. Whatever that is.

Whatever you share (folder,files), the authentication PROBABLY is done on the server.

I have configured samba to be in the workgroup I am suppose to be. But I could not access the shared files because I can't authenticate myself.

Further more, I am not seeing the printer using samba.

Will paste the config file here in a short while. Am on windoze.

So, you're trying to connect Samba to a Windows domain, right? Or is it just a workgroup? It sounds like the former with a certain organizational unit set for your department, or whatever. If this is the case you'll have to be using winbind in addition to Samba. You'll forgive me if I don't look up more than that for the time being. If possible, please provide more info about the kind of network your office has set up.
