11.7. Connecting Windows 95/98/ME to a Samba Domain
Problem
You set up a new Samba primary domain controller (PDC) like in Recipe 11.4, and you did not have a domain controller before, so your clients are not configured to log in to a domain. How do you log in from a Windows 95/98/ME client?
Solution
First, confirm that Windows networking is set up correctly: TPC/IP and Client For Microsoft Networks must be installed, in Start → Settings → Control Panel → Network.
Then, go to Control Panel → Network → Client for Microsoft Networks → Properties. Check "Logon to NT Domain." Enter the domain name.
Check "Logon and restore network connections." Click OK. It may ask you for your Windows CD, and then you must reboot to activate the changes.
After reboot, you can log in to the domain; you'll be presented with a login screen with the domain name.
To boot up Windows without logging in to the domain, hit the Cancel button.
Discussion
Even though you can set up multiple users on Windows 95/98/ME, there is no real separation or security. Everyone may access everyone's files, all the applications are configured globally, and the only user-unique features are the desktop decorations.
