192.168.1.1        YourServername
   −
This is where SME doesn't support linux clients as well as windows, so... logon to your SME Server
+
/etc/init.d/samba restart
 +
/etc/init.d/winbind restart
 +
 
 +
If you misconfigure a file and lock yourself out of the workstation <br>
 +
hit spacebar at the grub prompt  <br>
 +
change to root=(leave as is) single <br>
 +
login as root and check your config files

====Connect to domain====
 +
on SME 7.3 and above
 +
 
 +
On the client [''Workgroup'' is your SME Server Workgroup]
 +
and admin may be any user in the 'domain-admin' group
 +
net rpc join -D '''WorkGroup''' -U admin
 +
 
 +
Log out, and now you should have all your SME Users in your login 'user list'
 +
 
 +
====Mounting Shares====
 +
pam_mount works well if you use domain logins, other methods are too much trouble.
 +
 
 +
mount your server home directory and ibays
 +
 
 +
nano -w /etc/security/pam_mount.conf
 
   
 
   
To check your client values > K menu > Setting Configuration > Internet and Networking > Samba <br>
+
volume * smbfs servername  &    /home/&/Desktop/&      uid=&,gid=10000,dmask=0700 - -
'''ClientName''' is the NetBIOS Name, NOTE: you must add the trailing $ <br>
+
volume * smbfs servername  ibay1 /home/&/Desktop/ibay1  uid=&,gid=10000,dmask=0700 - -
'''Workgroup''' is Workgroup, your local '''windows''' domain  <br>
+
 
 +
===Printing===
 +
Printing to your SME Server depends on your printers being supported by cups
 +
 
 +
'''cupsd'''
 +
 
 +
When you install mepis, when asked you should elect to run cupsd
 +
 
 +
check and if necessary change with
 +
ls -la /etc/rc5.d/???cupsys
