RE: [Samba] Samba and XP - Updated Registry - Still no go
Thats correct. A far as I am aware XP Home cannot connect to a domain. You will need XP Pro to do this. Regards Peter | -Original Message- | From: Glenn J.

RE: [Samba] Samba won't start
I gave up on SWAT when I found Webmin worked pretty much the same. I cant remember if I tried the command line to start it or not. As far as I can remember I did everything the docs I found said and it still wouldnt run. I have my Samba configured and runing as a PDC for both Win2K and WinXP boxes. All of my configuration was done through straight editing of smb.conf and using Webmin. Webmin does a very good job. Disclaimer: I am am a linux newbie and still getting used to it. Once I got something running I tend not to play with it too much in case it breaks and I cant get it back :-) | -Original Message- | From: Ryan oberto [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] | Sent: Thursday, 2 January 2003 5:39 pm | To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Subject: Re: [Samba] Samba won't start | | | hi | | can you start swat and samba from the command line | | | On Thu, 2 Jan 2003 15:38:25 +1000 | Peter Caitens [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | | I cant get SWAT to work on my Mandrake 9.0 box either.

[Samba] Description of Shares in Windows
On my Windows XP and 200 boxes the shares that I have mapped in a login script have their descriptions set to the following: downloads on 'Samba Sever 2.2.6pre2' (M:) This would be fine if I had set server string = Samba Server %v in the smb.conf file. However I have this set to server string = Samba. When I browse the network on the Windows boxes the correct description appears for the server - Samba (calais) Excerpt from smb.conf: [global] workgroup = INNWEBTECH netbios name = calais server string = Samba security = user encrypt passwords = Yes domain logons = Yes Excerpt login script has the following line: net use M: \\calais\downloads Does anyone know how to set the correct description for the share on mapped drives?
