Not exactly a samba problem.....

[Trevor Benson]

Set a local policy on network, used to be a way to require network login.
That way if they don't authenticate with samba, they are forced back the the
login prompt again until its fixed for proper login.


Thanks,
Trevor

Subject: Not exactly a samba problem.....

I apologise for this question not being a samba-question, but I guess some
of you encountered this problem before.

I have samba set up as a domain master and logon server for 6 win98 boxes
and everything works perfectly; i have also set up some policies for the
windowzs so users won't mess up the computers and (incredibly) the security
on win98 is almost NT-like. The big problem is that when logging on, the
win98 allows the users to change the name of the domain they're logging on
to. If one does this, the following will happen: the computer times out for
about 1 minute, and then windows will start with the default user, so all
the policies go down the drain (just like pressing ESC, which otherwise
wouldn't work if the domain name stayed the same).

So if anybody knows if there's anything to be done about this, please
HELP...... and once again sorry for this M$-problem question :-)
