Any help will be welcome. You need to set up samba to be an SMB domain controller. A "logon.bat" script in /etc/samba/logon will set up the home directories for the Win users. This is the script I use with a mix of Win2k and Win98: rem Reset the current time to that shown by the server. rem We must have the time server = yes option in the rem smb.conf for this to work. echo Setting current time... net time \\amayatra /set /yes if %OS%.==Windows_NT. goto WinNT if %OS%.==Windows_2000. goto WinNT :Win95 sleep 2s net use h: /home net use g: \\amayatra\groups net use p: \\starfleet\ftp net use s: \\amayatra\shared goto netend :WinNT rem Map network drives to local drives net use h: /home /PERSISTENT:NO net use g: \\amayatra\groups /PERSISTENT:NO net use p: \\starfleet\ftp /PERSISTENT:NO net use s: \\amayatra\shared /PERSISTENT:NO :netend "amayatra" is the machine on which the user home directories reside (running FreeBSD); they are mapped to drive H: when the user logs in. Other directories and machines can also be mapped to drive letters, as you can see. "starfleet" is running samba on linux FC1 and shares certain directories with the other machines. In the Windows Control Panel on the Win98 machine, open the "Network" applet and select "Client for Microsoft Networks" and then click "Properties." Select "Log on to Windows NT domain" and enter the name of the SMB domain you told samba to use. Under "Network logon options" select "log on and restore network connections" and it should work for you. -- -John (JohnThompson@xxxxxxxxxx)
