[lug] NT workstation vs Samba

[Ferdinand P. Schmid]

Mathias:
Let's start from the beginning:
Is your Linux system part of a WindowsNT domain?
If so did you create an account for your Linux system in that NT domain?
What version of Samba and Linux are you running?

Here is an example smb.conf file created with SWAT that works.  It shares a
printer, a public file system (permissions allow everyone to read/write to
everyone's files) and a file system with user typical permissions.
