Feature changed by: Stephen Dunn (nzlbob23) Feature #305272, revision 6 Title: Definition in the Yast2 samba server module for "workgroup" host openSUSE-11.2: Evaluation Priority Requester: Desirable Requested by: Andrew Joakimsen (joak0) Description: Add a definition in the samba server module for "workgroup" host. I.E. in a SOHO it isn't always necessary to setup a true "domain" server, however if there were a set of options for things like "LMB" aka "local master browser" and a quick set of clicks to join a "Workgrp" as a client. this tutorial highlights the amount of script editing that could be avoided if the samba server were more "workgroup" friendly http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtolanprimer.html#samba (http://www.swerdna.net.au/linhowtolanprimer.html#samba) References: Originally reported as BNC #420766 (https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=420766) Discussion: #1: Federico Lucifredi (flucifredi) (2009-01-26 20:47:37) spreading the evils of Lan manager networking to Linux? :-) These are among the hardest networking setups to troubleshoot, especially considering that the user that "clicks a couple of times" has no idea how the magic works... I have serious misgivings about this. + #2: Stephen Dunn (nzlbob23) (2009-05-16 07:02:35) + I don't even know what all the jargon means here. Even with swerdna's + help I found it very difficult to set up a simple home network. Why + can't it be well explained (e.g. about security) and simple? -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/305272
