No, you can use it as an NT or 9x PDC; I'm doing it myself at home. The
problem I ran into was that regardless of how many How-tos I read, it
wouldn't work. It kept telling me either that it couldn't find a domain
controller or that the password was wrong. Then I went into Linuxconf
and started monkeying around with the settings. There seemed to be a
bunch of stuff not set there, despite all of my manual config file
changes. Once I did that, it worked, and my Win9x box saw it as a PDC,
no trouble at all. I'm going to have to hook a printer up to that
machine, sooner rather than later, and dump all of the config files to
paper (and record the Linuxconf settings), in case something happens
(like a client following my advice to skip NT Small Business Server and
use Linux).

Subject: Samba Question - NT domains?
Hi all,
I was just reading an article:
http://news.tucows.com/ext2/99/11/articles/ext211221999.shtml
about upgrading an NT server to Linux. :)
Towards the end it said:
> The desktops

physically

Hang on, I thought the idea of Samba was that a Linux box could look
just
like
an NT one to the rest of the network. (At least, that's what the blurb
always
says.) But this implies that Samba can't masquerade as an NT domain. Is
this
guy right, or is he just lazy with his config files? ;)
Please reply via email as I don't get this list very reliably.
MTIA..
Vince
