There are some pretty serious draw-backs to not using MS Win 2003 as your domain controller, but with the right tools you can get pretty close; and the advantages of not using MS Windows make up the rest of the difference. Check out the how-to documents posted by others, if you have any specific questions let me know, I may be able to help. ( I didn't/don't use Kerberose, yet.) P.S. This is not an easy thing to set up. I'm not aware of any "easy" ldap servers so you are probably going to end up doing a lot of development work on your ldap schema, importing users, and setting up your local directory before you even look at samba. I spent about four months on my system and I had a working, although very badly constructed, system to start from. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers--
