Dual-boot and Samba FAQ

  • The line pointing at Linux boot sector image in boot.ini on a Windows machine: 
    c:\linux.bin="Linux Debian 3.1"
    The drive letter should be "c" regardless of the actual partition number.
  • For accessing Samba shares as user 'dave', the user should have accounts in both, unix /etc/passwd and samba, /etc/samba/smbpasswd: 
    smbpasswd -a dave

  • To bind a computer to Samba as a domain controller, the machine account should exist in the both files: 
    groupadd -g 80 trust
useradd -u 80 -g trust -d /dev/null -s /dev/null unisys04$
smbpasswd -a -m unisys04
