added instructions advising people to set up 1.9.18alpha as a Win95 Domain
Logon server, with encrypted passwords *prior* to trying out the NT Domain
Logons.

@ -14,12 +14,28 @@ without the need, use or intervention of NT Server. This document describes
|
||||
how to set this up. Over the continued development of the 1.9.18alpha
|
||||
series, this process (and therefore this document) should become simpler.
|
||||
|
||||
One useful thing to do is to get this version of Samba up and running
|
||||
with Win95 profiles, as you would for the current stable version of
|
||||
Samba (currently at 1.9.17p4), and is fully documented. You will need
|
||||
to set up encrypted passwords. Even if you don't have any Win95 machines,
|
||||
using your Samba Server to store the profile for one of your NT Workstation
|
||||
users is a good test that you have 1.9.18alpha1 correctly configured *prior*
|
||||
to attempting NT Domain Logons.
|
||||
|
||||
The support is still experimental, so should be used at your own risk.
|
||||
|
||||
NT is not as robust as you might have been led to believe: during the
|
||||
development of the Domain Logon Support, one person reported having to
|
||||
reinstall NT from scratch: their workstation had become totally unuseable.
|
||||
|
||||
[further reports on ntsec@iss.net by independent administrators showing
|
||||
similar symptoms lead us to believe that the SAM database file may be
|
||||
corruptible. this _is_ recoverable (or, at least the machine is accessible),
|
||||
by deleting the SAM file, under which circumstances all user account details
|
||||
are lost, but at least the Administrator can log in with a blank password.
|
||||
this is *not* possible except if the NT system is installed in a FAT
|
||||
partition.]
|
||||
|
||||
This *has* been reported to the NTBUGTRAQ@LISTSERV.NTBUGTRAQ.COM digest.
