Question / Possible Meeting Topic

[Riga, Anthony]

Justin I would be intrested in learning more about Samba and Sun. I think that would be a great topic at the meeting.

Has anyone gotten samba to work well as a PDC in an NT/W2K environment? If so I'd like to see it. I use samba here on our file servers (faster, I can run linux on them, and I can run it on intel hardware), but the stations login to a Sun PCNetlink (solaris box) for domain authentication. I found in the past the samba PDC support lacking, hard to configure, and even harder to administer. The PCNetlink works well with existing Microsoft User/Server configuration tools, you can stick in an NT administrator, give him his usual tools, and he'd never be able to tell you he wasn't using an NT 4 domain controller, well maybe, he wouldn't need to reboot it every couple of weeks. 

Maybe Samba as a topic. I know someone wanted to play with a Sun Station, I could do a little something on PCNetlink along with the solaris load. I know that not really the focus, this is a linux group, maybe a samba/pc netlink tag team in a production environment?

Just an Idea.

Justin
