[olug] Help a small NPO

[Craig Wolf]

Chris, how often do you get to Omaha?  I could take you out and show you
my setup.  I have something similar but on heavier hardware at an NPO
also...  Don't know what CLarkConnect is but I use Samba with roaming
profiles.  I used to be able to automatically add computers to the
domain but that quit working so I do it my hand now.  Let me know if I
can help...

Help me Help me!

Don't you love emails that start this way?  Seriously though, I am in 
dire need of some help designing a lightweight Linux system to replace

my company's dying Win 2k PDC server.  I have found a new (used of 
course) box with a dual processor board (PIII 550) and 512 MB RAM w/ a

20 gig main drive and 6 - 4 gig scsi drives setup as a level 5 raid 
(currently mapped to /home) - it's an old gateway server that was 
donated - we're a very POOR non-profit org. 

I know enough about Linux to be VERY DANGEROUS, but am always looking
to 
learn more.  I've read through the Samba 3.x admin guide and honestly 
didn't understand much of what I read, but in my typical fashion, I 
plunged ahead anywayz.  I've got this machine setup currently using 
ClarkConnect 3.2r1 and have it (I think) running as a primary domain 
controller, but whenever I attempt to add a machine to the domain, I
get 
an error stating that there was a problem authenticating due to a 
conflict of credentials (researched this, but came away with more 
confusion than answers). 

This machine ideally would replace an older PII Win 2k server currently

acting as a primary domain controller and hosting roaming profiles
which 
I inherited when I became the "Computer Guy" and a SmoothWall router 
that just burns away power we don't need to burn - the latter is not a

requirement though.  If ANYBODY has any experience with these types of

setups, or is interested in helping me to learn more to accomplish this

goal, I would be GREATLY appreciated and will buy you a nice steak 
dinner (or your preference) at your restaurant of choice.  Wish I could

offer more, but I'm on VERY limited budget.

Chris from Kearney - remember me from the July installfest?
