okay, I'm stumped. I have samba setup and I'm able to use it but how do I setup other users, easily? Here's the process I've been successful with thus far: Note: current setup win98 clients, NT server (network authentication) 1. I setup my network user name in linux (adduser/passwd) Note: username must match what I log into NT with AND must be in upper-case. NT must convert to UC cause LC would not work. 2. I create my user from step 1. in samba (smbpasswd -a <username>) give the same password I user in 1. but not the same password I use as my NT network password.
I then have to MAP a drive to my samba share \\s390\< upper-case username>. (Explore - Tools - Map Network Drive). Give my user name (smbpasswd) and it works! I am able to see my samba share and my printers I have setup using print-conf. 1. I go into window to setup the printer(s) but (issue #1) no drivers. I have: [printer$] comment = Printer Drivers path = /usr/local/samba/printers guest ok = yes and yes, I did put the drivers in there. I wound up having them already in the list but I thought I could pick from /usr/local/samba/printers. The *.inf is there but I cannot see the directory. 2. issue #2 - user setup. do I have to setup each user this way. there is a reference to an add_user script. I've looked for this but so far all I've found are reasons not to post it as "site specific material". I just want to know what is suppose to look like and I'll modify it to my site. regards, j-me
