samba - Feb 2003 - How to join a linux machine to a "pure" Active Directory Domain using Samba 3.0alpha21?

Hello.

I've now compiled and installed Samba 3.0 alpha 21 on a Red Hat 8.0 box
(since I sadly don't have a current Mandrake box available in our
network).

Now I'm somewhat lost - what do I have to do, to make the Samba server
join the Active Directory (which doesn't support NT 4.0 Domains)?

Is "net ads join" the only thing I've got to do?  

Where do I set which AD is to be joined?  Does Samba use the
"workgroup" parameter from smb.conf?  Do I have to pay any attention
on
how I enter the AD name there, or would "europe.delphiauto.net" do?  

Do I need some sort of adminstrative rights in the AD to be able to
join?

Which security mode would I need to use?  domain?

Besides Samba, which other software/servers do I need on my server?
Kerberos?  I suppose I need to configure it somehow - how?  What do I
have to pay attention to?

I'd be very happy if someone could help me out - FAQ pointers concerning
this are welcome as well!  I've Google'd for answers but could basically
just find questions and sometimes answers regarding Samba 2.2.x and NT
4.0 Domains.

Thanks a lot,

Alexander Skwar

Who cares ##@$@! This has nothing to do with Alexanders original
question or the subject, so please stay on topic for the thread and do
not use your post to hijack the thread. If you want to debate the
capabilities of windows XP home, please at least start your own thread,
or even better, move it to a different list.

I still want to follow the AD-part of this thread, and have no interest
in the Windows XP bit (I deal with Windows XP more than I want to as it is).
