[Samba] Question

[PageDeveloper]

Good Morning,

I am sorry, but I am very new to SAMBA. I have a RH 8 server, and
I am trying to connect a Win2K and a Win98 box to it.  Now from
this point, the win2K box works with out a issue (mainly).  The
98 box, I can see the share from time to time.

Two questions if I may.  The command above does what?  I can see it is
part of winbind, but when you use the smbpasswd that just adds a password
to the samba share so that you have a log in, correct?

Also how do I tell what samba version I am running??

Thank you so much for the help..

I can send my smb.conf file to any that needs to see it.  Did not want
to over do the list.

With Samba 2.2, just do everything just as you did before, but *do not* use
winbind in nsswitch.  You will need to join winbind to itself.  (ie,
smbpasswd
-j -Uroot%foo)

With Samba 3.0, this is now a properly supported solution, as of beta2/3 in
particular.  Use 'net rpc join' on the server to join itself to itself.
