[PLUG] SAMBA and windows 2000...

[Ted Kubaska]

I went to a Microsoft event a few weeks ago -- the speaker from Microsoft
expressed offline the interest to speak at some user groups and I mentioned
PLUG. In the spirit of bipartisanship he seemed amenable to a how
Windows/Linux work together talk. If PLUG is interested I can try to put you
guys together. The Microsoft talk dealt a lot with Active Directory.

You're right, basic Samba setup is straightforward, but in retrospect it
seems.  What I do is pretty simple -- mount Windows partitions on Linux and
vice versa. Even so, I struggled with it initially.

Occasionally through out the years.  I did an AT talk a few months back
about using Samba 3 as domain controllers and using LDAP as a replicated
authentication database.  Using Samba can get pretty involved, considering
that Microsoft has changed or added new methods with every release, and
Samba has nobs that let you operate with or without most of these.  That
said, a basic setup for the "average home network" (if there is such a
thing) is pretty straight-forward and hasn't changed much over the years.
