Hey Folks,

Anyone out there have experience with 'making' Samba on SuSE 7.0
authenticate to a 'real' (and I use that term lightly) Windows NT PDC? Any
info would be GREAT...

Thanks,
Scott

You got it!  Don't get me wrong, so far I'm fairly pleased overall with SuSE

7.1.  But issues lilke the kernel upgrades via yast, suse rpms and the suse 
ftp have me very frustrated at times.  And alsa modules seem to be very 
fickle.  One of the things that frustrates me is that it seems that SuSE 
tries to discourage kernel upgrades and since there are issue that someone 
might need to know that are specific to the SuSE distro in regards to a 
kernel upgrades and config - the lack of any good docs or SuSE kernel HOWTOs

only exacerbates my frustrations!  If there is any info specific to these 
types of upgrades I'd really like to know where they are.  RTFM is hard to
do 
when you can't find any FM to R.  :-)
