We have been using this for several years, but can't speak specifically to FC2 as the server is running WBEL - was previously on RH7.3 and earlier. You need to read the docs and decide how you want to handle passwords - can use Samba-specific passwords or *nix passwords, but after that, the basic items in /etc/samba/smb.conf we use (simply uncomment) are: # OS Level determines the precedence of this server in master browser # elections. The default value should be reasonable os level = 33 # Domain Master specifies Samba to be the Domain Master Browser. This # allows Samba to collate browse lists between subnets. Don't use this # if you already have a Windows NT domain controller doing this job domain master = yes # Preferred Master causes Samba to force a local browser election on startup # and gives it a slightly higher chance of winning the election preferred master = yes # Use only if you have an NT server on your network that has been # configured at install time to be a primary domain controller. ; domain controller = <NT-Domain-Controller-SMBName> # Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for # Windows95 workstations. domain logons = yes Phil
