samba - Aug 2005 - Samba and Windows authentification

Hello!

I want to set-up a Linux Server (SuSE9.3) with Samba 3.0.13. Because I have 
only a little expierience in Samba I have a question:
Is it possible to let Samba act as an domain server for the Windows clients? 
If so, where can I download an HowTo or any other documentation.

Kind Regards,
Dennis

I assume you want samba to act as a domain member server, thus allowing 
domain users to access file shares and printers using their domain 
credentials.

The following document can help you with this.

I currently have the setup I described above, you need to compile samba 
with kerberos and ldap support, and use winbind to fetch account info 
from the domain controller(s).

Off course it is, Samba must then eact as a PDC (primary domain controller).
