Re: [389-users] How to configure WindowsXP client

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Per,

Thanks for your help. My rehat-ds serves Unix and MAC clients very well. 
My goal is to let ds serve WindowsXP as well. I only need to let 
WindowXP client to be able to use login name and LDAP password.

 This is what I did:

1. add samba.schema LDIF to my redhat-ds and restart the ds server
2. on one of my linux LDAP client, configure and start SAMBA as DC

Then I am assuming it should work, but not. Could you email your working 
smb.conf file?
