Hello folks, Today I have picked up samba again after years of neglection :) I want to be able to integrate our linux boxes in out windows domain. There are 2 reasons for this. The first reason is backup purposes. I want to be able to access some directories on my unix boxes to copy/backup files to my windows boxes. Until now, the linux boxes gzipped and ftp'd the zip files to the windows boxes, but the data on the linux boxes is becoming too much to use this method. The method makes incremental backups impossible, too.
Thus I want to be able to access my linux harddisks from a windows (xp) pc in our domain. Only 1 user account should be able to access the linux boxes. Can someone advise on the easiest way to do this ? Is it necessary that I make my linux boxes a domain member server (security = DOMAIN) ? Do I have to use winbindd ? The second reason why I want to use samba for is not important, because I will be using the linux boxes as a client and smbmount will dot he trick. If someone would be so kind to advise me on the question, I'd greatly appreciate this.
