[NTLUG:Discuss] Samba 3

[Alfred Dayton]

Hi Dave,

      Google for "adaware" for spyware proggy.  You also need a second one I
believe called spybot or

Something like that from a German source. BOTH are required.

Subject: [NTLUG:Discuss] Samba 3

Hi all,

Here at my work I've been implimenting linux were it has been a
appropriate alternative for new services. (email, intranet, wholesale
ordering system, data warehousing for report generation) Currently we
have 2 WindowsNT 4 servers.  One of the server has Windows applications
on it and will remain a Windows server just upgraded to a newer version
of  Windows.  The second Windows server is our main file server and I'm
looking into the possiblility to use Linux and Samba instead of paying
to upgrade both servers to Windows 2000 or Windows 2003.   I'm looking
for any experience anyone may have in using Samba for file services in
the workplace.   Is it possible for Samba to replicate user accounts
from a Windows Server?  I want the home directories on the  Linux
server, but I need to have the domain accounts managed from the Windows
server.    I do not want to have to create a user on Windows, then
create it again on Linux and Samba.  I've used Samba before but it's
been at least 2 years and It was for home use only.

If anyone has any experience or can point me in to some information that
can knows how to accomplish what I'm wanting to do.

Also, several months ago someone noted a spyware removal program for
Windows.  I have a friend that just ask me about this, but I could not
remember the programs name or were to get it.  If someone remembers what
and were it was, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
Dave
