Hello Alin
well I try to play with my config files, but it did not work
when i join a samba server to one domain his netbios name always points to this server.
But what i succeed to make is this:
I succeed making one way trust between the two NT Domains.Thats mean : i can access form "Dom1" all off my Samba-server that i joined to "Dom1" and also access all the Samba-servers that i joined to "Dom2". without any need to make any authentication.
But the users that login to "Dom2" can access only the Samba-servers in "Dom2".
i did it with this steps:
1) on "samba1" : /opt/samba/smbpasswd -j Dom1
2) on "samba2" : /opt/samba/smbpasswd -j Dom2
3) make trust in the NT Domain, Dom2 is trusted by Dom1.
4) I got on each NT domain same-user (i did not check if i need this) i think that only one will work too.
Thanks anyway
bye bye

The problem is that you can't acces computer cross-domain. They
have to be in the same domain (workgroup if you like). One trick
can be done, you add in [global] "netbios alias=DOM1" in smb.conf
on DOM2 server and vice-versa. This tells Smba to accept
conection from both domains. I have only one server so i can't try it
first. Let me know if it worked.
People at Samba believe that this is a marketing strategy from
Microsoft to make you have one server per domain.
