I can't remember the specifics right now, as it's been a while since I setup a SAMBA server. But, you really don't need to have it setup as a PDC server for now, so you can get that out of the way. Essentially, you will want to set the "WORKGROUP" to be the same as your NT domain, so it will show up there in browse lists. Also, when creating shares, try a test one by un-commenting one of the "everyone=read only" entries, and then restart SAMBA to see if you can see the share from other systems (if you don't have a spiffy GUI for it, it will probably be "$ /etc/init.d/samba restart"). Instead of waiting for the system to show up in the browse list (which can take a while, especially without a WINS box) just use "\\linuxbox-name" in Explorer to see if it comes up, and then check to see if the share shows up as well. If all that works, you will have to either set your share security to user, share, or workgroup iirc, and workgroup will require some sort of password sync with a PDC which can be a hassle when learning this. So, I would suggest making shares available initially by creating locked down accounts on the server along with a "samba" group (if not already present) and adding permissions to the share via the smb.conf file.
Of course, you might want to make sure this makes at least some sense, as I haven't done this in a while and my linux test box here is compiling a new Gentoo install right now...
im configuring it as the domain server not the client im running Fedora Core 2 and im switching it from Windows Server 2003 to Fedora... and im doing NetBIOS ppl have been telling me the wrong thing please Email me back ASAP at paintballMC117@hotmail.com
