You can use SAMBA to configure a "workgroup" under linux - the actual config file lives in /etc/samba/smb.conf - so you can manually edit the file and set it up the way you want, or you can use Webmin to do the configuration via Webmin and SWAT. It works like a charm once you get it up running - you can configure the linux box as either another peer on the workgroup, or you can actually use Samba to act as if it's an NT domain controller...very powerful... -- Sun Dec 15 15:05:00 EST 2002 3:05pm up 4 days, 7:27, 6 users, load average: 0.11, 0.31, 0.21 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. -------------------------------- | __ __ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | ;"""/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU -------------------------------- Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn Here I am at the flea market but nobody is buying my urine sample bottles ...
