The Visionfs docs (which are easily found on the web in pdf format and 
are also on the server itself) more than adequately cover configuring it 
to be either a Wins server or a client of another server.  You just run 
"profedit" logged in as the Administrator on a Windows machine, click 
Server Properties, and click the Wins tab, the "Register with these Wins 
servers" (or something close to that.



If you don't know who the Visionfs administrator is, login to the Unix 
box as root and run "/usr/vision/bin/visionfs status" or, if you need to 
change the admin, use "/usr/vision/bin/visionfs setup"



You can map a Windows name to a Unix name if you do change the admin. 
Let's say you want to use your Win2000 machine where you login as Fred 
with the password "foobar8".  You can tell visionfs setup (on Unix now) 
that "fred" will be the admin and that the Unix name of fred is root. 
You would then need to change root's password IN VISIONFS (you aren't 
changing the unix login) by doing



/usr/vision/bin/visionfs password --amend root foobar8



Notice that you use "fred"'s password here.



Then over on Windows, Network Neighborhood, find the Unix box, drill 
down to Visiontools, and run "profedit" to set Wins.









Samba is much easier- you can do everything by editing text files on the 
Unix side.

BofcusmNum1675 : Use Samba, allow 137,138 udp - 139 tcp if your firewall allows you to do it without risk. If not there are ipv4/iptables solutions that can.

    My voice mail suddenly gave me a pile of deleted messages - causing me confusion and stress as I thought things I fixed were broken again.
