Hi, we use a Windows NT to authenticate our users and I have a subnet with a Linux server as the router for that subnet. I run samba-the-latest on Linux and I was told by a Microsoft guy that this server may be the cause of the security problem on the NT server. It seems that samba is corrupting the user database on the NT server and my network admin thinks that the Linux server is the cause. Can u help?? If you need more info please e-mail.

If an NT server database can be corrupted by Samba queries, there is something drastically wrong with NT, not with Samba.

Hi I am trying to find out if Samba can be a BDC to a windows NT PDC. The aim of wanting to do this is so that the windows PDC can be taken out, and bring the samba BDC to the Primary domain Controller. Is anyone able to help ? Thanks, Pete
