This document describes +how to set this up. Over the continued development of the 1.9.18alpha +series, this process (and therefore this document) should become simpler. + +One useful thing to do is to get this version of Samba up and running +with Win95 profiles, as you would for the current stable version of +Samba (currently at 1.9.17p4), and is fully documented. You will need +to set up encrypted passwords. Even if you don't have any Win95 machines, +using your Samba Server to store the profile for one of your NT Workstation +users is a good test that you have 1.9.18alpha1 correctly configured *prior* +to attempting NT Domain Logons. + +The support is still experimental, so should be used at your own risk. + +NT is not as robust as you might have been led to believe: during the +development of the Domain Logon Support, one person reported having to +reinstall NT from scratch: their workstation had become totally unuseable. + +[further reports on ntsec@iss.net by independent administrators showing + similar symptoms lead us to believe that the SAM database file may be + corruptible. this _is_ recoverable (or, at least the machine is accessible), + by deleting the SAM file, under which circumstances all user account details + are lost, but at least the Administrator can log in with a blank password. + this is *not* possible except if the NT system is installed in a FAT + partition.] + +This *has* been reported to the NTBUGTRAQ@LISTSERV.NTBUGTRAQ.COM digest. + +========================================================================== +Please note that Samba 2.0 does not **officially** support domain logons +for Windows NT clients. Of course, domain logon support for Windows 9x +clients is complete and official. These are two different issues. + +Samba's capability to act as a Primary Domain Controller for Windows NT +domains is not advertised as it is not completed yet. For more information +regarding how to obtain the latest development (HEAD branch) source code +and what features are available, please refer to the NT Domain FAQ on-line +at the Samba web site under the documentation page. + diff --git a/docs/textdocs/outdated/PROJECTS b/docs/textdocs/outdated/PROJECTS new file mode 100644 index 0000000000..3008bea430 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/textdocs/outdated/PROJECTS @@ -0,0 +1,88 @@ + Samba Projects Directory + ======================== + + +>>>>> NOTE: THIS FILE IS NOW VERY OUT OF DATE <<<<< + + +This is a list of who's working on what in Samba.

The Novell port (see Samba web pages) includes NetBEUI +functionality in a proprietrary library which should still be helpful as +we have the interfaces.
