We have a couple of NT4 boxes I'd like to replace with a single samba

authentication for the other box which is just an NT4 member server with
a big hard drive and a whole bunch of shares. There are also a few
printers that are littered around the place connected to various Windows
(2000 and XP) client machines and shared across the network.
I'm thinking this is possible with just one samba box and share level
security?
Withouth a domain, where will your user definitions come from? Do
people log in with the 'this computer' entry or are they logging in with
your domain specified? If you don't have a domain then you will have to
run around and make users on all the workstations.
Will there be any issues with the printers if there isn't a Windows
domain - this is where cups comes in, right?
Printing doesn't need a domain, but having login scripts that map those
printers and connect drives and such does require the domain.
