johanl Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 Hey, I would like to know some more about using Samba/Linux as a domain controller. I hope someone has some experience with that here. What can Samba do at the moment, only act as a NT4 domain controller or also as a Win2000 Active Directory domain? Is it very hard to setup Samba for a purpose like that? The clients we have are NT4/2000/XP pc's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fissy Posted January 16, 2004 Report Share Posted January 16, 2004 samba can't be an active directory server as of this moment (wait for 4.0 afaik), but it can do pretty much everything else, including be part of a domain with an active directory server. i suggest you go to the samba homepage, they have the using samba book for download there, that should be a good place to look. O' Reilly sell it so it should be good :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikon34 Posted January 20, 2004 Report Share Posted January 20, 2004 Hi, OK, first of all, you need to read the documentation at www.samba-tng.org. Then download the package and follow the documentation. Samba-TNG is a replacement for an NT PDC. It still only supports x86 architecture, but most systems out there are x86. :D Some useful links: Download site: http://download.samba-tng.org/tng/ Documentation site: http://www.samba-tng.org/docs.html At present, it does not support: WINS replication File locking File ACL support But apart from that, it is complete. Hope this is of some help Nikon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
