Re: [TCLUG:3451] samba 2.0 and win95 logins

[Nate Carlson <natecars@infiniteloop.com>]

You can do it with samba 1.9.x. All you need to do is configure the samba
server as the domain server, and point the Win9x machines to it as the
Windows NT domain server. I have it running on a few lans; runs just fine.
I haven't made the migration to 2.0 yet; doing that soon.
