Re: Win98 and Samba

["Steve Poling" <sdp@xxxxxxxxx>]

i'm using Samba no sweat. i'm running the redhat 5.2 release of kernel
2.0.36 and i installed/configured the 2.0 release of Samba. i tried the
registry hack that says not to encrypt passwords. it didn't work, so i
implemented a smbpasswd scheme that works just dandy. only problem is that
my kids didn't like the passwords i assigned to them. (this is a home
network, the only users are family members.)

now, maybe if i started really beating on Samba, it'd get unfriendly. i'm
inclined to try installing apps like Office97 on a Samba share and serving
the apps up from there. does anybody know how to do something like that? my
RELee machinne currently serves two printers and a 10gb drive to the Windoze
machines, i'd be way cool to have it serve up a number of apps out of that
10gb space.
