Here's the parms: [global] workgroup=<your domain> domain logons = yes security = user os level = 34 local master = yes preferred master = yes domain master = yes [netlogon] comment = The domain logon service path = /export/samba/logon # or whatever public = no writeable = no browsable = no For NT Clients, you must also use the following: [global] encrypted passwords = yes For NT, you also need to create the trust account (machine name with a $ at the end (stick it in /etc/passwd, disabling the password) You can use smbpasswd to set up initial passwords. There are also options for synchronizing the Linux account passwords with the Samba passwords in smb.conf. I've gotten all Win 9x clients (including ME) to be domain users. There should be a lot of info in smb.conf, also check www.samba.org (I think that's the URL). If you have Win2K clients, you'll need Samba TNG or Samba 2.2 (I think both are still in development stages though).
