It is failry easy to set up. Make sure and get at lesat samba vrs 2.0.6.
Altho9ught wth win2k, you can not use samba in its current state as a
domain controller with win2k. This is being worked on with samba tng, the
developmental version of samba. However, you can use 2.0.6 as a file
server which it seems is what you want to do. When you're seetiung it all
up, make sure and turn on encrypt passwords on the samba server. That is
probably the reswhy yhou though tthat you had to make a registry change.
Before, you had to before samba allwed the encrypted passwords.
