Win 2000/Samba

[Craig White]

There is less than full support for Windows 2000 workstations & servers in
current 2.07 samba.

BUT...

create an account at least in smbadduser for the machine as MACHINE NAME &
$ - for example, my machine name on my Windows 2000 computer is FRED, so I
created an account for 'FRED$' - no password - workstation trust account.

create an account for Administrator - and use the password that you used for
the Administrator account when you set up the Windows 2000 computer.

create any other accounts that you need to log in.

my smb.conf... (but in my case, I am using FRED as password server - I also
have linked smbusers w/ unix by using unix password sync = yes and have
XXX'ed out the ip addresses and workgroup name. If you want samba to be
domain controller, set security = user, set domain master, domain logon to
yes and set OS Level higher, like 64)

[global]
	printcap name = /etc/printcap
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 50
	interfaces = 192.168.x.x/255.255.255.0
	domain master = no
	default = homes
	dns proxy = no
	domain logons = no
	passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
	encrypt passwords = yes
	server string = Samba Server
	workgroup = XXXXXXX
	passwd chat = *New*UNIX*password* %n\n *ReType*new*UNIX*password* %n\n
*passwd:*all*authentication*tokens*updated*successfully*
	comment = Samba Server
	unix password sync = yes
	smb passwd file = /etc/smbpasswd
	netbios name = barney
	socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_SNDBUF=8192 SO_RCVBUF=8192
	load printers = yes
	security = domain
	password server = FRED
	os level = 32
	wins support = false
	debug level = 0

[there's more but you get the idea]
