Any thoughts? You cannot "login" like the WinX machines do. To add the Linux computer to the domain, you'll need to configure Samba. If you have it running, stop it. /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb stop Add your Linux box NETBIOS name to the domain. At the NT Server. Start->Programs->Administrative Tools->Server Manager Computer -> Add to Domain Configure Samba, I'd recommend SWAT or Webmin. Join Domain. At the shell type smbpasswd -j DOMAINNAME I cannot remember it the above it the exact syntax. Check the doc /usr/doc the information is located there. Restart Samba /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb start Goto Freshmeat or Linuxberg to find software to browse ala "Network Neighborhood" If you have problems with nmb starting remove the WINS configuration from Samba. Good luck, Cecil

Any thoughts? > As several others have pointed out, you need to install Samba. From here, ir really depends on what you're connecting to on the network. For example, at my office, I'm the only one running Linux (except for out firewall, which runs Redhat 5.2), and we do most of our work by connecting to Unix servers through terminal emulation in Windows. I simply added the ip addresses to all these server to my /etc/hosts, and telneted from an Eterm session. Our mail server is running Exchange 5.5, and is fortunately set up as pop accounts, so I could use any email client and configured the pop mail server settings to use the ip address of the Exchange server. I didn't actually bother trying to figure out postfix or sendmail, but simply used Netscape's mailer. (They weren't paying me to figure out linux, unfortunately) Same thing for the firewall. Plug the ip address into the proxy server boxes, everything worked fine. To browse the network, I ended up using XSMBrowser (or mayne jusr SMBrowser, check Freshmeat). I had tried Gnomba and other similar programs, but didn't have much luck. Once I figured out what the ip address was for the DNS machine, I was able to connect to the NT boxes I needed. Never tried connecting to individual pc's, nor did I attempt to make my linux box seen on the network. Of course, I work for a company with 21 employees, so all of our machines have hard coded ip addys. Couldn't tell you what might need to be done for system assigned addresses... HTH, Wayne

To access a file share, and assuming you have the Samba client installed, smbclient //server/share -Uuser password is, I believe, the proper syntax. This opens an ftp-like interface (console based) to the server for the purpose of transferring files. For browsing, you still need the Samba client package, however you will also need one of the "Network Neighborhood" clones written to provide a GUI interface to smbclient.

RE: [expert] Logging into NT network with Linux client
I am not 100% sure how to but you need to map the available drives to your system. If your network is set-up with DHCP for the IP assignment the issue the following command as root: [root@localhost /root]#ifup eth0 [ENTER] >From here you will need to map the available drives. I am not 100% sure like I said as to how to do this. Also if your network is behind a proxy serer you will need to aquire that information so that you can communicate and transmit throught the proxy.

The obvious one that comes to mind is, dump the NT and replace it with a real OS. On the theory that that is not acceptable, how far along on networking are you? Can you ping one or more NT servers? If not, you have IP problems to solve. Have you got Samba installed, and configured? Particularly, see recent messages on this list about encrypted passwords on NT. Can you do an "smbclient -L servername"? If so you should get something like: ccurley@charlesc /tmp $ smbclient -L server Added interface ip=192.168.1.3 bcast=192.168.1.255 nmask=255.255.255.0 Password: Domain=[CURLEY] OS=[Unix] Server=[Samba 1.9.18p10] Sharename Type Comment - --- public Disk Public FTP Directory files Disk Shareable files DeskjetPrinter IPC$ IPC IPC Service (The Curley Linux Server.

[expert] Logging into NT network with Linux client
Ok, here's the scenario. I'm trying to setup a Linux box here at work. What I'm trying to figure out is what I need to do to log into our network (WinNT Enterprise). Any thoughts?
