Right now this is only supported by combining two CVS +branches of Samba, which is what the files in this directory do. + +To setup an appliance do the following: + +1) build and install Samba using the .spec file or Makefile in this + directory. + +2) setup winbindd by following the directions in the winbindd man + page. + +3) test winbindd, validating that domain users and groups are visible + and that domain authentication works, both using unix tools and + smbclient. + +for appliance printing support also do this: + +4) create a print$ share with write permission for print + administrators. + +4) create the "nt printer driver" directory (by default + /usr/local/samba/lib/ntprinters) and make it writable by print + adminisrators. + +5) populate your /etc/printcap printer database + +6) add printers using the NT "add printer wizard" in the Printers + network folder. -- cgit
