[Samba] Re: Opening MS Access files on Samba

[Dragan Krnic]

| We are running a samba server 2.23 on FreeBSD 4.8

Perhaps you may add the trustable domain names as 
subkeys to the following registry key:

  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\
   Software\
    Microsoft\
     Windows\
      CurrentVersion\
       Internet Settings\
        ZoneMap\
         Domains

If the domain you work in and should trust is
yourdom.eu then add a key with that name and put
the following value in it:

   "*"=dword:0000001

This registration is on per-user basis, so you may
create a file "trusted-doms.reg" containing:

  Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains]
@=""

  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\ZoneMap\Domains\yourdom.eu]
"*"=dword:00000001

and let it be loaded by the logon script. The command
in the logon script should be:

   %SystemRoot%\regedit.exe /s trusted-doms.reg

It works for me, but perhaps someone knows a better
way or how to make it system-wide instead of per-user.
