Configuring Windows Domains on Samba

The latest version of O'Reilly's Using Samba, 2nd Edition includes an updated Chapter 4 Windows NT Domains that covers our current versions of both the Samba software and Windows clients. I still need to make the changes specified to the smb.conf file described in that chapter, but at this point, we have basic file sharing going on with the Windows XP Home clients. Note that is as good as it's going to get for Win XP Home: "You have our condolences if you are trying to use the Home edition of Windows XP in a domain environment! Microsoft has omitted support for Windows NT domains from Windows XP Home, resulting in a product that is ill-suited for use in a domain-based network."
