In my network + class we are trying to crate a network using Ubuntu Linux and Windows 2003 Sever. The Linux need to be able to share files with the 2003 sever and we need to be able to log onto the 2003 sever via the Linux computers.
So far we got the Linux computers and the 2003 sever to see each other but we can’t share files. We also need to install DS Client (an Exe file) to the Linux computers to be able to log on to the sever. The Ubuntu Linux computers don’t seem to have any windows emulators like wine installed on it.

Any help or suggestions with this would be helpful especially for finding wine and using it.

Sorry i put this in the wrong spot
 
You can share files via samba, or NFS. NFS allows you to mount network drives, but requires configuration from the server end to allow a remote IP address to access the files.
 
WINE is not an emulator hence the name, its a set of APIs that allow windows apps to run on Linux.

Configure smb (or samba same thing) to file share. SMB still requires authentication. By DS do you mean directory service, like active directory? If you want you linux client to authenticate via AD, you will have to bind the client to your AD server. This can be done, I just don't know off the top of my head how to configure it.

This was my first post on this forum 04-06-2005 07:56 PM :D. Glad to see it finally go an answer.
 
Did you get it working? If so, you should post the solution to help anybody else that may have the same problem in the future.
 
We did not get it work. However I think you will have to configure Samba and Kerberos with the correct domain information.

Only if your network hands out kerberos tickets. To configure samba you need to edit the config file or use webmin, which is what I do since it makes configuring that stuff very easy through a web interface.

Not all directory services require kerberos, while I agree with you that it is very good for security, but its not required. In fact in some cases there are issues with kerberos tickets and you need to turn it off because some of your clients can't get a ticket from it due to some compatibility issue or what not.
