[Samba] : how to connect samba with Active directory on openSUSE10.3

Hi,

I intend to connect freeradius 2.0.2-3 to Active directory, following this HOW_TO:
http://wiki.freeradius.org/FreeRADIU...egration_HOWTO

as i am a real newbi at linux, i am here for some questions. some of them could be silly, but please, excuse me and my poor english too!

the HOWTO point a file named "smb.conf" laocated usually at /etc/samba/smb.conf

my fsmb.conf file looks like this:

---------------------------------
# smb.conf is the main Samba configuration file. You find a full commented
# version at /usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE if the
# samba-doc package is installed.
# Date: 2008-05-28
[global]
workgroup = MYDOMAIN
printing = cups
printcap name = cups
printcap cache time = 750
cupsoptions = raw
map to guest = Bad User
include = /etc/samba/dhcp.conf
logon path = \\%L\profiles\.msprofile
logon home= \\%L\%U\.9xprofile
logon drive = P:
usershare allow guests = Yes
[homes]
comment = Home Directories
valid users = %S, %D%w%S
browseable = No
read only = No
inheritacls = Yes
[profiles]
comment = Network Profiles Service
path = %H
read only = No
store dos attributes = Yes
create mask = 0600
directory mask = 0700
[users]
comment = All users
path = /home
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
veto files = /aquota.user/groups/shares/
[groups]
comment = All groups
path = /home/groups
read only = No
inherit acls = Yes
[printers]
comment = All Printers
path = /var/tmp
printable = Yes
create mask = 0600
browseable = No
[print$]
comment = Printer Drivers
path = /var/lib/samba/drivers
write list = @ntadmin root
force group = ntadmin
create mask = 0664
directory mask = 0775
--------------------------------

operating systeme is SUSE 10.3 and samba version is 3.0.26a

- first, in the global section, i wonder which is correct between "workgroup = MYDOMAIN" and " workgroup = MYDOMAIN.LOCAL"

- Then i identified files like:
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.SUSE
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/smb.conf.default
they contains part of the stuffs i have to configure. so my second questionis, have i to take care of these files too or should i just follow the HOWTO and put all my lines in smb.conf only?

hoping to be read and understood,

thank you

Your request has been read. It is clearly understood. Please read the Samba
documentation. There are two detailed books.

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-HOWTO.pdf
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/Samba3-ByExample.pdf

Given that your experience is just beginning, you may want to see this working
with not too much effort. In this case, experiement with the working network
examples in the Samba3-ByExample book. If you want to get straight to the
implementation you desire, check the chapter (I think it is chapter 7) on
adding Domain Member Clients and Servers. You will find a close
approximation to your needs there. It does not include the Free RADIUS stuff,
but at least will get you a working Samba server that is an ADS domain
member.

Enjoy!
