Re: [Samba] Samba PDC and Windows XP not executing logon.bat
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hi, I have my netlogon share defined as such: [netlogon] ~ comment = Netlogon ~ path = /var/lib/samba/netlogon ~ guest ok = Yes ~ locking = No I think the 'guest ok part' might help you...

[Samba] Tutorial: Samba as NT4 Primary Domain Controller
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Hello, I'm writing a tutorial with which people can easily setup a Samba machine as a NT4 Primary Domain Controller (using CentOS 3).
