[newbie] Samba works as domain server question

2002-06-13 Thread Tuan tran

Hi,
I'm using Linux as my file server for all windows
computer via Samba. I have no problem with workgroup.
It works fine. Now, I want to setup my linux box works
like domain server (it means all windows users on my
network must logon to this computer). After I setup
smb.conf file, I use can not use Windows computer
access my Linux box. It said Domain not found! I test
smb.conf and it works fine. Therefore, I think I must
setup my Linux box as domain server first, isn't it?
If yes, WhAT SOFTWARE do I need to install in able to
setup my own domain? How do I test it? And can we use
Webmin to setup  test? 
Any input is a big thanks

Thank you.



Tuan

Tuan,

do you have dhcp server setup and running on this machine along with 
samba? that is how I'm using samba and linux on my home LAN. all the 
windows machines login to this machine, get their IP number from 
this machine as well as share it's internet connection. this machine also 
serves as fileserver and print server via samba. does this sound like what 
you're working to setup?
