samba - Jan 2003 - Linux to Win2k Active Directory authentication using samba.

Hi to all,


    Is there any additional information I can get
about on Linux to Win2k Active Directory
authentication using samba? I have downloaded some
documents on how can i test it but its not yet
complete. I know that samba 3.0 is still on alpha
version, I just want to try whether someone had
already tried it to implement for one login
authentication, especially using the GUI mode login
(KDE or Gnome). Thanks a lotand more power!

Bernie

If you don't need kerberos support etc, you may come right with winbind.
Mandrake 9.0 supports this out-the-box if you do an "expert" install,
and choose "Windows Domain" authentication. Just remember to enter the
domain name in CAPS.
