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. - |
