  For those of you using samba, how exactly are you using it, as share,
user, domain or server? I ask because I've been playing with it for a
while with the following machine setups

  - router/firewall machine running linux
  - samba/nfs fileserver running linux
  - regular machine running linux
  - regular machine running win98

  I havn't yet implemented nfs on the fileserver, but I plan to one of
these days. The samba machine is setup for domain security with the
necessary shares for netlogon, profiles and where the public files will be
stored.
  Yet no matter what I've tried, I can only get user and share to work
correctly, I can't seem to get domain to work the way I BELIEVE it's
supposed to work. What I mean by believe is that I've got the smb.conf
setup as far as I can tell correctly, I've got the following setup on the
Win98 system

  Under Network / Configuration / 'Client for Microsoft Networks'
      Logon to Windows NT domain   is checked
      Windows NT domain            is set to workgroup name
      Logon and Restore network con.. is checked

  Under Network / Access Control
      Share-level access control   is checked

(because everything I've read says user-level won't work under domain
configuration)

  Yet, when I goto logon with the 98 machine it reports the following
after about 10sec. 'No domain server was available to validate your
password. You may not beable to gain access to some network resources.'
  Pressing the 'OK' button then finishes the logon process and all my
shares show up correctly and as far as I can tell, printing, file access,
internet, etc... all work, but the above message bothers me and makes me
feel that it's not really working the way I think it should.
