I have had a lot of practical experience with Linux and MS domains lately. The salient points are: You can access windows shares via samba, put a mount statement in /etc/mount with the username and password. Create an account on the domain controller for the Linux user.
DHCP works great, it's a standard, not a Microsoft concoction. You will get the IP, gateway, nameserver, and other info fomr the DHCP server which will save a lot of time if you need to reconfigure. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Anthony Abby Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 8:42 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Newbie Question: Joining an NT Domain? Chris, you're mixing up network terminology here. "Joining" an NT domain has nothing to do with utilizing NT based DHCP services. Joining a domain is for user and resource authentication and utilization. You can set up Samba (http://www.samba.org) to allow your system to share resources with the NT boxes. But even with Samba installed and configured, your system will still not be part of the domain. MS doesn't play well with others. You also should not have had to set up a static IP for your Linux box. It'll pick up all the references and an IP from your DHCP without having to do that.
