+Subject: NT Domain Logons
+===========================================================================
+
+As of 1.9.18alpha1, Samba supports logins for NT 3.51 and 4.0 Workstations,
+without the need, use or intervention of NT Server. 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.

+
+
+>>>>> NOTE: THIS FILE IS NOW VERY OUT OF DATE <<<<<
+
+
+This is a list of who's working on what in Samba. It's not guaranteed
+to be uptodate or accurate but I hope it will help us getting
+coordinated.
+
+If you are working on something to do with Samba and you aren't here
+then please let me know! Also, if you are listed below and you have
+any corrections or updates then please let me know.

+Documentation and FAQ
+
+Docs and FAQ files for the Samba suite of software.
+
+Contact samba-bugs@samba.org with the diffs. These are urgently
+required.
+
+The FAQ is being added to on an ad hoc basis, see the web pages for info.
+
+Mark Preston was working on a set of formatted docs for Samba. Is this
+still happening? Contact mpreston@sghms.ac.uk

+Netbeui support
+
+This aimed to produce patches so that Samba can be used with clients
+that do not have TCP/IP. It will try to remain as portable as possible.
+Contact Brian.Onn@Canada.Sun.COM (Brian Onn) Unfortunately it died, and
+although a lot of people have expressed interest nobody has come forward
+to do it. The Novell port (see Samba web pages) includes NetBEUI
+functionality in a proprietrary library which should still be helpful as
+we have the interfaces. Alan Cox (a.cox@li.org) has the information
+required to write the state machine if someone is going to do the work.

+Smbfs
+
+A mountable smb filesystem for Linux using the userfs userspace filesystem
+
+Contact lendecke@namu01.gwdg.de (Volker Lendecke)
+
+This works really well, and is measurably more efficient than commercial
+client software. It is now part of the Linux kernel. Long filename support
+is in use.
