Re: [cobalt-users] NIS

["Nathan Martinez" <nathanm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I do not really need to have smbd working (or do I?).  I just need smbmount
working (I want to get to NT resources from the raq but not vice versa).
How can I tell smbmount which machine to authenticate with (the pdc)?  Any
ideas?  thanks.
