Is anyone here doing real use of SAMBA as an NT domain controller? I have been attempting to follow: http://web.vcs.u52.k12.me.us/linux/smbldap/ Which is set up to work with Fedora core 4 (how is this equiv to centos 4?) It looks like I am rather far along. Hit my first obvious problem with the IMC populate script. It would be nice to have a centos version of all this....

Realy if Fedora 4 use the Samba-3 then is equiv. Well i setting Samba whit the use on the system (real unix user). Teh configuration is very easy. Some problem, add machine on the domain (windows xp and 2000 or high), but this problem is not a real problem, because you create the user name_machine$ and leater create the samba user name_machine whit the option -a -m, and this create the confidence account. Then i can to join the machine on domain. Maby is so easy whit the others options, how the samba+ldap or samba+mysql, but my Samba work as the domain NT cotroller.

Test 3 just hit the other week. I've been calling it the first version (.0) of a new EL5 series (CL5.0) because it switches to GCC 4.0. I haven't looked at it deep enough to see if other things have changed, but it's safe to say at this point, with RHEL4 out, Red Hat is looking to "shake things up" so don't expect FC4 to have the same compatibility as FC2-FC3-RHEL4. [ BTW, I caught a typo in my EL0-EL4 reference I posted before. Both EL3 and EL4 use GLibC 2.3, as does this new EL5. ] -- Bryan J. Smith mailto:b.j.smith at ieee.org
