Samba and WinNT Network 1

Sorry I know my english is not the best :-/ 
 
One Question: how I can a Linux Server (SuSE 6.4) integrate into a Win NT Network with Domain concept?? 
 
Is it possible?

It probably is if I'm understanding you correctly.  If I understand you correctly, you're trying to ask whether you can have a NT machine running as a DNS server alongside a Linux machine (i.e. cluster).  This is probably a better question for Linux(server), but I will try to help you as much as I can.  I don't exactly have the information on hand right now, but I will get back to you.

Hi, may be you can use Samba. Samba is a Server and a Client for CIFS/SMB, and it supports NT Domains. I use Samba as a file server for Windows9x/NT machines. You can gather more info on <A HREF="

Get there, it may be your better solution.

Mr. Maior, Using Samba, can one store word, excel, docs etc. on the linux box and use the linux box(es) as your sole servers and use W98/NT machines for all your clients? (best of both worlds- 1) users are not confused 2) cheap but more reliable servers!!! Shlomo Nissenbaum  MCSE

Yup, that is right. Samba can become a transparent file sharing server si that it runs over IP networking as if it were an NT Server or any other file sharing server come to that. But because the architecture is more robust and the processor required is significantly less, you get a better server for your money and additionally you do not get licensing problems when you access it - cf NT Server which costs 30 per seat.

Yes it is possible. Firstly setup a Linux server with Samba and then make sure you create a sample user on the Windows NT Server. We will call it "samba01" as a trial user. Next, after setting-up the Linux server, install Samba and configure the samba configuration file in "/etc/smb.conf". Use this simple script I used. [global]    workgroup = YourWorkGroupName    netbios name = AnyNameYouWant    server string = EnterCommentHere    guest account = nobody    keep alive = 30    os level = 33    socket options = TCP_NODELAY    announce as = Samba Server    announce version = 4.2    mangle case = no    case sensitive = no    default case = lower    preserve case = yes    encrypt passwords = yes    valid users = users @staff ; Uncomment the following, if you want to use an existing ; NT-Server to authenticate users, but don't forget that ; you also have to create them locally!!! ; security = server ; password server = enter ip_address here ; encrypt passwords = yes ; Printers    printing = bsd    printcap name = /etc/printcap    load printers = yes/no    socket options = TCP_NODELAY    map to guest = Bad User ; Uncomment this, if you want to integrate your server ; into an existing net e.g. with NT-WS to prevent nettraffic    ;local master = no ; Please uncomment the following entry and replace the ; ip number and netmask with the correct numbers for ; your ethernet interface. ; Please uncomment the following entry and replace the ; ip number and netmask with the correct numbers for ; your ethernet interface.    ;interfaces = eth0 192.168.1.2/24 192.168.1.2/255.255.255.0 ; If you want Samba to act as a wins server, please set ; 'wins support = yes'    ; wins support = yes ; If you want Samba to use an existing wins server, ; please uncomment the following line and replace ; the dummy with the wins server's ip number.   ; wins server = 192.168.1.2 ; Do you wan't samba to act as a logon-server for ; your windows 95/98 clients, so uncomment the ; following:    logon script = %U.bat    domain logons = yes    domain master = yes [netlogon]    path = /netlogon [homes]    comment = Users Home Folder    path = /home    browseable = no    read only = no    writeable = yes    create mask = 0750 [tmp]    comment = Swap Space    path = /tmp    read only = No    guest ok = Yes ; The following share gives all users access to the Server's CD drive, ; assuming it is mounted under /cd. To enable this share, please remove ; the semicolons before the lines [cdrom]    comment = Linux CD-ROM    path = /cd    read only = yes    locking = no [printers]    comment = All Printers    browseable = yes    printable = yes    public = yes    read only = yes    create mode = 0700    directory = /tmp [public]    comment = WizShare Shared Files    path = /home/samba    write list = @staff    read only = No    force create mode = 0777    force directory mode = 0777    guest ok = Yes Once done, create a Samba user by executing; /usr/bin/smbpasswd -a samba01 put in the password and then configure your Windows client WORKGROUP and DOMAIN login names and you are done. --Moonshi

Hi guys, I'm a lan manager and i started a Samba server in my office with (acctualy) 4 clients running Windows 98. In the samba log (log.smb) appears some lines like this : [2000/07/05 18:44:47, 0] smbd/service.c:make_connection(209)   apoio1 (172.20.194.14) couldn't find service fernando    where apoio1 is the name of my machine and fernando is my login. There are dozens of lines but it seems not to affect the network. But when i try to copy a big archive there appears this error : [2000/07/05 22:49:24, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket_data(537)   write_socket_data: write failure. Error = Broken pipe [2000/07/05 22:49:24, 0] lib/util_sock.c:write_socket(563)   write_socket: Error writing 4 bytes to socket 5: ERRNO = Broken pipe [2000/07/05 22:49:24, 0] lib/util_sock.c:send_smb(751)   Error writing 4 bytes to client. -1. Exiting    And i don't know what to do to correct this error !    Can anyone here give me some tips ?    Thanks,    Fernando Lemes / Brazil
