I hadn't decided on a distribution yet...RH 8.0 I was thinking, but maybe that is too much, especially if I am using an older machine? The box wouldn't be used as a domain controller since most users will be running Win98, but would be for file sharing and print services. As for the CUPS, I've never configured the printer server before like this so I don't know if I would use CUPS, or does the SAMBA daemon handle the windows printing, too? There would be no Linux desktops on the network. Thanks everyone for your time and advice!

The web-based tools didn't really work all that well, and the conf files aren't too evil to manage, really. I found this to be helpful: http://www.troubleshooters.com/linux/samba.htm Also, what distribution are you using, Gary? Do you need CUPS support, that kind of thing? -- jon -----Original Message----- From: plug-admin@lists.phillylinux.org [mailto:plug-admin@lists.phillylinux.org]On Behalf Of Paul Sent: Tuesday, December 24, 2002 11:34 AM To: plug@lists.phillylinux.org Subject: Re: [PLUG] SAMBA Server SWAT is OK, but I prefer the editing the config manually. Some people like to use Webmin, which also has modules for administering other services through a browser. Jon Nelson wrote: >Weissman, Gary said: > >>for a machine?
