samba - Aug 2011 - SSO's availability

Hello all,


I will introduce myself,
I'm french, about 34 years old and works for a mechanic company.
I've discovered linux in 2006 and I'm really enjoyed by all the things 
that can be done with.

Now this is questions :
Is it possible to configure a system of authentication based on SSO 
samba (and certainly ldap and lot of others things) ?
Is it possible to do this without any windows's system which act as any 
authority ?
Wat I mean is that I would like to do this only one linux's computer....

And the last one of my questions : Could you help me ?


Thanks In advance for all of your answers,

Kindly
--

      Yes if you use Samba 4 as it can be your AD server. And, if in
addition to your windows boxes you make your other linux/OSX machines
authenticate against it, you are all set.

Which things need to authenticate?  At my current workplace, I've set up
Samba with an LDAP backend.  Linux machines, switches, web applications
and various devices authenticate directly against the LDAP backend;
Windows machines (or anything which needs Windows authentication and
file services) use Samba.  It all plays nicely and satisfies all our
current needs.  What are your needs?  Do you have a specific requirement
for Active Directory (or equivalent)?

Absolutely.

Unless your network is very small, I'd recommend using a minimum of two,
so that your whole system doesn't fail because of a problem on your only
domain controller.
