Andrew probably got this working already, but just as an fyi: I run Debian, only had to change a few things from the default install. Changes in smb.conf: security = domain realm = mydomain.msu.edu password server = ip_or_FQDN_of_PDC Then all I had to do was initiate the command net join with the appropriate arguments (use "net help join" to figure out what you need to specify). Of course these commands may or may not be present on different distros. And... That was it, works perfectly fine now, took about 30 seconds to do. -----Original Message----- From: MSU Network Administrators Group [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Andrew McCormack Sent: Friday, December 16, 2005 12:15 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [MSUNAG] Linux ->windows domain Does anyone have any good links to join a Linux system with samba to a windows 2003 domain?
