Users can however map drives using domain authenticated credentials. The SAMBA list can not substitute for the following. 1: A basic understanding of windows/SMB networking 2: Reading the supplied documentation However Some Distros provide basic graphical configuration utilities that may meet your requirements (Red Hat, Fedora, Suse & Mandrake) For a PDC configuration look at the excellent smbldap-installer available from http://www.vcsvikings.org/docuwiki/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/ This script works with Fedora Core 4 & Umbuntu and will provide you with an NT4 stile domain controller. PS Ensure that ACLs are configured if you want NT style file permissions (google "ACL SAMBA LINUX"). Most modern SAMBA binaries now come with ACL by default but you may need to change the mount options for your underlying file system.
