Subject: Share Name Not Found?
Scott, you seem to know a lot about SAMBA and I was wondering if you could help me. I Don't want my name posted so please remove it if yo post it to the e-smith board.
My problem is this. I have an NT server as my Primary Domain Controller but when e-smith is in the same workgroup my 95 and 98 workstations get a "Share name not found" error. I hav selected NO in the workgroup section on e-smith for the Domain Master option but it still does this! I really want e-smith as my server and gateway. Can you help?

"I sure can, Mr.Hat!" I ran into this one myself. The QUICKEST way is to use a patch Charlie Brady made. This can be downloaded from the e-smith site. The second is just a quick fix by making a custom template using the file "etce-smith emplatesetcsmb.conf20netlogon". Make it look like this:
# Enable this if you want Samba to be a domain logon server for
# Windows95 workstations.
domain logons = { $SambaDomainMaster ? $SambaDomainMaster : 'yes' }
logon script = netlogon.bat
Put it in an new directory called"etce-smithcustom-templatesetcsmb.conf".
This actually takes advantage of the ORIGINAL scripting and will check if it is a domain master or not.
Hope this helps
