RESOLVED!!: [Samba] Struggling to get SAMBA and Windows working together --- RESOLVED!

[David Jackson]

this did it, joining the Linux Server to the domain and changing the
smb.conf to use a password server fixed the problem.
now the next thing is to get the permissions to create files in the shared
directory (Access is denied when trying to create a directory on the LInux
share).


anyone know where i can look fo r information on create modes?
I feel bad that I ask for lots of information and haven't given back much
(YET!)
Als could someone tell me where the archives are, as I am sure some readers
out there are tired of me already.
But already this is so great that it is working, it only took two days, but
now that i know I can help others and keep learning more!
Thanks SAMBA LINUX COMMUNITY,
David jackson

Here are some of the things you might want to add
to your samba.conf when you have your Samba server join the domain.

Security=domain   "set the security parameter to domain".
workgroup= "domain name"
password server = "Must list PDC and any BDC"
encrypt passwords=yes "when join domain, must be set to yes"

Hope this helps.
