I have samba 2.2 currently and will be upgrading to a newer version ASAP. Untill then i have been stumbling along rewriting smb.conf to try to get a win 98 and a win 2000 pro to use my linux box as a PDC. as well as sharing folders on the linux box with the win computers. i have DHCP and BIND 9 up and running and i have run 'useradd mname\$', 'smbpasswd -a -m mname', and 'smbpasswd -a uname'. There is probably an error or 2 in the following copy of my smb.conf file so if sombody could point out any horrific problems for me, and/or how to fix them, that would be great. also i have purposly # all the printer stuff because i don't have a printer hooked up yet, it is just one more thing to deal with and is on the back burner. thx scott. #------------------------ smb.conf Start ------------------------ # smb.conf is the main samba configuration file.
