Integrating Win2k and Linux/Unix for a single logon

[shadoi]

I currently have this setup with good success using Samba-TNG
2.6.1alpha, with OpenLDAP as the back-end w/3000+ users.  Tridge told me
that full support for an LDAP back-end would be in the next release of
Samba 2.2.x HEAD branch.  So you can either risk it with Samba-TNG or
wait for the (more stable) 2.2.x release from the Samba team.

There are various HOWTO's which I used to do this, here is one of the
best: http://arena.sci.univr.it/~mami/tng-ldap/howto/howto.html

There are bits and peices from other HOWTO's that are helpful, but you
can get 99% up and running with this information.

Good luck!  It can be challenging.
