You cannot "login" like the WinX machines do. To add the Linux computer to
the domain, you'll need to configure Samba. If you have it running, stop
it.
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop
Add your Linux box NETBIOS name to the domain.
At the NT Server.
Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Server Manager
Computer -> Add to Domain
Configure Samba, I'd recommend SWAT or Webmin.
Join Domain.
At the shell type
smbpasswd -j DOMAINNAME
I cannot remember it the above it the exact syntax. Check the doc /usr/doc
the information is located there.
Restart Samba
/etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start
Goto Freshmeat or Linuxberg to find software to browse ala "Network
Neighborhood"
If you have problems with nmb starting remove the WINS configuration from
Samba.
Good luck,
Cecil
