RE: [newbie] Setting up Samba as Passowrd Server for win98

[Bill Shirley]

Look in /usr/doc/samba-2.0.7/docs/textdocs .  You might also check out www.samba.org

 

Basicly, you want:

        workgroup =  WORKGROUP

        domain master = yes
        preferred master = yes
        local master = yes

        logon script = %U.bat
        logon path = \\%L\Profiles\%U
        logon drive = h:
        logon home = \\%L\%U\.profile

and probably:

        security = user
        encrypt passwords = yes
        smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
        username map = /etc/smbusers
        wins support = yes

and you should have:

 

[netlogon]
   comment = Network Logon Service
   path = /home/lan/shares/netlogon
   guest ok = yes
   writable = no
   share modes = no

[Profiles]
    path = /home/lan/shares/profiles
#    browseable = no
#    guest ok = yes
        browseable = yes
        write list = @smbusers
        force group = lanadmin
        create mask = 0771
        directory mask = 0770
        map system = Yes
        map hidden = Yes
        map archive = Yes
        available = yes

Of course, change the paths to the apropriate directory names.  The permissions should be:

 

drwxrwx---    2 bill     smbusers     4096 Sep 30 11:30 netlogon/
drwxrwx---    2 bill     smbusers     4096 Sep 30 11:30 profiles/

PS. I have a group "smbusers" that I put all samba users in.

Can some one point me to a source of info on how to properly configure samba with webmin to act as a PDC for password authentication of win98?

 

 

TIA
