After doing some more reading I think I might have to edit the smb.conf file the old fashion way
I've found some information which might help me. Just to confirm I'm going in the right direction though;
- I configure the smb.conf file
- add a user to the linux box
- use the adduser to add the client_pc then change this from user to a PC?
Quote:
John is the user that we are going to use and to client_pc is the machine that is going to enter the domain
Now we must publish the configuration file so that client_pc does not stay as user.
dc#nano /etc/passwd
It is necessary to put sign $ of such form that is left something like this
John:x:1004:1004:,,,:/home/leonardo:/bin/bash
client_pc$:x:1010:1010:,,,:/home/manager$:/bin/bash
- then create the above in samba
- then reboot (or manually restart samba)
- join the Windows XP machine to the domain
Can someone just confirm if I'm going down the right path here with this?
Thanks heaps
