Hi Johnny (and the rest),
=20
A summary of the required changes is as follows:
=20
1) Windows 2000 server: DNS server admin tool - under server properties,
select Security tab and use Advanced button add 'EVERYONE' with read =
access
to the DNS server service.
=20
This gives every system on the network permission to use the DNS server =
- I
suspect it would be possible to create a user on the Win2K server that =
Samba
could authenticate against in order to not 'open up' things as much but =
I
haven't tried this.
=20
2) resolv.conf on the Linux server has the following lines in it =
referring
to the Win2K domain and the DNS server's IP address:
=20
search adminsvr.headoffice
nameserver 192.168.101.170
=20
No doubt this is/was a no-brainer for many, but I'm still getting up to
speed with Linux-->Windows world issues.
