Problems with Samba

>I have worked with Samba for a year and a half, and
>have learned the hard way many things. Current, RedHat
>is sitting on a box at work as a member of our NT
>Domain.
>One thing to check for: Go to /etc/hosts and check
>your first line. It should read:
>    127.0.0.1   localhost
>If there is anything after it, then delete it all.
>Samba will go into a loop if something like
>localhost.localdomain is placed after it.
>It doesn't matter after that.
>Restart samba.
>Now, if you are using encrypted passwords, this is how
>you do it:
>In /etc/smb.conf, enable encrypted passwords. Enable
>the /etc/smbpasswd file. Save and exit.
>Type 'smbpasswd -a <username>. It will prompt you for
>a password. Make sure the user name and password match
>what you have in the NT environment. This is
>important.
>It should add successfully.
>Now, restart samba.
>On your Win box, logon with that same user id. The
>linux box should appear on your net neighborhood. If
>it doesn't, check the workgroup names to see if they
>match. If you are using WINS, there are areas in
>/etc/smb.conf that allow you to leverage that.
>Go to start > find > computer and search for the
>system. This should find it. If not, try the IP
>address. If still no go, you have a prob with your
>NIC.
>Email or call me if you have further questions. I
>would love to gain more experience with this.
>Note: This only makes you a part of the workgroup, not
>domain. This is the first step to domain membership.
