[Samba] SysVol questions

[Stéphane PURNELLE]

Hi,

A volume is a share

Your client connect to netware using netware client for windows , right ?

that mean : your netwarre server act as a file-server and a auth server.

You can do that with samba4, but it's not recommended.
it's better to separate file-server and auth-server.

In your example : a VM with the AD (sysvol) server and a other server with 
your share (volume).

When I startd my job, our file-server was a netware 3.11 (2000-2001).
And I migrate from this server to a samba 2.2.x.

so it's a big migration.

regards
