/etc/init.d/samba restart

  /etc/init.d/winbind restart
To check your client values > K menu > Setting Configuration > Internet and Networking > Samba <br>
  −
'''ClientName''' is the NetBIOS Name, NOTE: you must add the trailing $  <br>
  −
'''Workgroup''' should be your SME Server Workgroup <br>
     −
  signal-event machine-account-create  ClientName$
+
If you misconfigure a file and lock yourself out of the workstation <br>
smbpasswd -a -m ClientName$
+
hit spacebar at the grub prompt <br>
 +
change to root=(leave as is) single <br>
 +
login as root and check your config files
   −
Now back to mepis and join the workgroup/domain
+
====Connect to domain====
  net rpc join -D WorkGroup -U admin
+
on SME 7.3 and above
   −
Ideas borrowed from http://tech.canterburyschool.org/tech/UbuntuWorkstations , Thanks !

===Mounting Shares===
+
Log out, and now you should have all your SME Users in your login 'user list'
You have two options, pam_mount will work if you use domain logins, smb4k will work with or without

====pam_mount.conf====
+
====Mounting Shares====
edit /etc/security/pam_mount.conf <br>

pam_mount works well if you use domain logins, other methods are too much trouble.
