hi,
if u can configure samba server as PDC(for windows logon authentication) then u can create a user currosponding to all NT users on the samba server and u can configure samba in such a way that ur unix home directory can be mapped at the time of login
pls be more specific as to what u want to share

Hi,

Have you installed CIFS/9000 server? It's available for free download from http://software.hp.com and there's full documentation available from http://docs.hp.com

I'd also recommend reading "Using Samba" which is an O'Reilly book, also available as an electronic copy with your CIFS installation. It's worth learning the concepts from there, then you can ask specific questions if you run into difficulties.

regards,

Darren.

If you used HP's version, then the easiest way is to point your web browser to http://yourhpserver:901/

Sign in as root.

There is a wizard you can use to setup Samba as well as a great help section.

All you have to do is make entries in smb.conf file.

YOu can acheive this manually or using swat utility.

For configuring using swat you have to have entry in /etc/services

swat 109/tcp.

Then you can acccess the same through
server IP:IP in your internet browser. And you are through to use Swat. It has got nice help on what is what. You can see shares, makes shares, commit changes, give permissions, view smb.conf in using swat.

Web has lot of help on it.

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/smb.conf.5.html

Refer to documents here for any help you want.

You will have to have Unix users created for using samba shares. For same users you have to perform smbpasswd command so that they get added to samba users database.

Thats all about it, hope it helps
