Thanks. See below:
Example Configuration
Samba as a Domain Member Server
This method involves addition of the following parameters in the smb.conf
file:
security = domain
workgroup = MIDEARTH
In order for this method to work, the Samba server needs to join the MS
Windows NT security domain. This is done as follows:
On the MS Windows NT domain controller, using the Server Manager, add a
machine account for the Samba server.
On the UNIX/Linux system execute:
root# net rpc join -U administrator%password
Hm. This implies that the Mac must, indeed, join the domain.
Since OSX is a species of BSD Unix, perhaps the above would work without
SAMBA being installed on the Mac? (If, indeed, it is not installed, as I
wondered in a previous post.)
There's no "Server Manager" on the ClearOS SAMBA 3 PDC. Not sure what the
equivalent smb.conf lines would be to "create a machine account" for the Mac.
I will refer this to the consultant who set up this domain. He's been
trying to figure this out also, despite a dearth of Mac experience.
Thanks again. Any other thoughts are welcome.
