Adding Linux box to Windows 2003 domain

[Sideswipe001]

I'm a linux newbie wanting to try SuSe 9.0 - I have it on a computer, but the rest of the systems here are set up using a Windows 2003 domain. I would like the SuSe machine to be able to access file shares, printers, etc on the domain. Can anyone explain what I need, or give me a link on how to do this?

look at samba3... that will let you share files on a windows network as well as become a member server of a windows domain but as for accessing files, youll probaly need to read up on mounting smb shares across a network... smbclient and smbmount or "mount -t smbfs" i believe... havent done this in a while so i cant quite remember... hope i at least pointed u in the right direction!

it's all in the FAQ:

Do keep in mind however that authentication is sent across the network in the clear.
