I want to know the easiest way to connect NT Worstation to Linux 7.2. I am in a class that must connect Two NT workstations to a Linux, Novell, and NT server. Linux is the only one I am stumped on. It is not my cup of tea. Any helpful tips?
 
You use samba on the Linux 7.2 server. When Linux is running you can Map the NT machines to the Linux with No problem. There is Howto's on this subject.

Here is some of my notes on the subject:
I set the samba server up in a workgroup environment.
I added a username and password of the NT to the Linux when building it.
User: cchome cchome
check both passwords, don' enable NIS, LDAP, Kerberos 5, enabled SMB,
server west, workgroup homesys.
checked: printing, classic X win, X win, GNOME, Sound and Mult, Network Support, Dialup Support, Graphic's and Image, smb, FTP, Router / Firewall, Network Managed W.S., Emacs, Utilities, Leg App. Support, Soft Development, Kernel Dev. , Win Comp Interop, Games & Entert

mkdir /sfile
chmod 777 /sfile
Edit the smb.conf file.
Copy the dial files to sbin.
Install the user in the smb section
smbpasswd -a user
ntsysv to setup the programs to run
Make sure SMB and NMB is turned on.

These are notes I put down on the last system I built. It is there to help me keep track of what things I did on the system.
I hope this helps.
