Hi !
Sorry to bother you but as you're pretty close to what I would like to
do with samba, maybe you could help me to answer the above questions.
As I guess you're both in a hurry, I don't ask you long technical
explanations. Just theorical informations to get a good understanding
of what I am going to do.
Thanks a bundle in advance.

All,
For a bunch of good reasons ;), my company thinks of getting rid of
our win2k DC and replacing it with a linux RH 7.3 box with samba 2.2.4
or 2.2.5.
Before starting working on that, I would like to gather some basic
informations.
Our win2k DC is just a file and print server (no MS Exchange or
whatever...)
We've got solaris 2.8, linux and win2k clients machines.
LDAP:
I understand that I need to setup an LDAP server which will replace
the win2k Active Directory (am'I right ?).
I was thinking of OpenLDap: any better suggestion ?
Kerberos:
What about encryption ? As win2k DC servers use kerberos, do I
also need to setup a Kerberos server on the samba DC or will ssl be
fine ?
If Kerberos is mandatory, do I need strong skill on it ?
User authentication:
I would like that all users (both unix and windows) authenticate from
only one place, ie - the LDAP server. I don't want to maintain a NIS
DB or passwd/shadow files for unix boxes with password
synchronisation. Is this possible yet ?
Can win2k users easily be authenticated from the samba server with
LDAP ?
ACLs:
I was thinking of XFS for ACLs support. Will I be able to see and set
DC files/directories attributes from a win2k client machine as with a
win2k DC ?
Implementation:
Assuming that I've got a quite understanding of samba (my linux box is
part of the win2k domain and I authenticate from the win2k DC with
winbind):
Is this implementation hard to setup ?
How long did it take you to set it up (approximatively) ?
Any advices will be greatly appreciated.
Sabrina
