Re: smbpasswd in thinstation

Erich,

sorry it took so long to get back to you. I was hoping to test before I 
responded, but haven't had a chance yet. So will try to do this from 
memory (I have a number of linux boxes authenticating to my PDC via 
samba this way).

in thinstation.conf.network (or your preferred conf file)
SAMBA_SERVER_ENABLED=ON
SAMBA_SECURITY=SERVER   (or it might have been DOMAIN - just can't 
remember the other bits)
SAMBA_SERVER=<ip>   (of your domain controller)
SAMBA_WORKGROUP=<workgroup or domain>
