Has anyone gotten windows computers to successfully authenticate against Fedora Directory Server? If so is there a walk through online somewhere? Or is it just ridiculously easy to do? Or is it like having a windows computer join an active directory domain? -- - Thank you, - Jared B.

You''d need to do something like set up Samba using LDAP as a back end. There are plenty of how-to''s out there. Googling "samba ldap domain controller" should be enough to get you started.
