I just reinstalled my NT4 PDC today as a Linux Samba Server too.

I found a couple of articles by Carla Schroder at networking.earthweb.com and http://networking.earthweb.com/netos...151091,00.html that walked me through step by step.

One difficulty that took me a little while to figure out though turned out to be a permissions problem in her instructions.

In her instructions for creating the directories she set up in the smb.conf file, she said to type:
chown 1757 /home/samba/profiles

This should have been:
chmod 1757 /home/samba/profiles

Once I made that change, I was able to log in and it used remote profiles and everything.

Then I had to log in on my Win2K system on the local Administrator and copy my old files and directories from the old Documents and Settings folders to the new ones that logging in under a new domain creates. This took care of most of the configuration stuff. Make sure you turn on the "Show hidden files" option under the Folder Options before copying them to the clipboard to be sure you get everything though. There are a whole bunch of hidden folders in there that really make a big difference.

Now to figure out how to get the system to print to my Canon BJC-6000.

Anyway, I thought I'd post my experiences as well in case it helps someone.
