It was just released a couple days ago. It's in Debian Unstable, and I built RedHat packages from the distribution. Pretty much you get 2000 clients working just like NT clients.. one twist. You need to create a samba user called 'root' that maps to the unix user 'root', and set the password to something.. then, when you are setting up the w2k client (after you have created the machine acocunt on the samba machine, etc) it will ask you for a user who can create the machine account. You need to enter 'root' and whatever password you set.. according to the docs, nothing else will work right now. -- Nate Carlson <natecars at real-time.com> | Phone : (952)943-8700 http://www.real-time.com | Fax : (952)943-8500
