Hi all,

I was going through the tutorial given here:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MWBhlaLIxQ

from this I actually implemented samba PDC in my Office using the following directives in my smb.conf file

samba pdc:-

workgroup = GEOMAT
security = user
password encrypted = true


domain logons = yes
domain master = yes
local master = yes
preferred master = yes
os level = 64

enable logon path=\\%N\%U\profile
/* is storing the profile in the user's home directory ,this is Samba's default */

logon drive = H;

add machine script = = /usr/sbin/useradd -g machines -c "%u machine account" -d /var/lib/samba -s /bin/false %u

/*
every time a machine , joins a domain the server needs to recognize that computers host name
*/

[homes]

comment = Home Directories
browseable = no
writeable = yes
/* to enable the default home directory shares. This will share each
user's home directory as \\server\username*/


[netlogon]
comment = Network logon services
path = /home/samba/netlogon
guest ok = yes
read only = yes
share modes = no

/*
create the netlogon directory for Domain Logons
(you need to configure Samba to act as a domain controller too.)

*/


[profiles]
comment = users profile
path = /home/samba/profiles
guest ok = no
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700



now my questions are as follows ?

1) what is the meaning of the directive os level = 64
2) under the netlogon section , what does share mode = no imply ?
