[Samba] Samba, Windows 2000 Native Domain, and Active Directo ry

[Noel Kelly]

Samba does not take any DC role but simply does lookups on the domain
users/groups just as an NT4 server would - it achieves this using the
winbindd program.  Have a look at the winbindd man page which is on the
Samba web site documentation for a clear guide.
 
I would then work step by the step through the Samba Howto Collection which
is also on the website.
 
It does all work BTW.  The only caveat is all those little sub-groupings
which they encourage you to contstruct in ADS are unseen by Samba - only the
Global Security Groups are accessible.

I'm trying to introduce a couple Linux boxes into our win2k native domain.
I've looked around for some information on this specific issue, but its far
and few between.  Most consist of NT 4 domains and PDC's.  What I would
ultimately like to do is add my Linux servers to Active directory, have AD
share its users with Linux and therefore establish shares, printers, ect and
have it published in AD.  I believe Linux/samba will have to be a DC, but
how is this done?  Can it be done?  I have little to no experience with the
old NT 4 PDC model, so much of the existing docs are Greek to me.  Could
someone please offer some guidance/how-to's/books/ect?  I'm excited about
making this work.  Thank you.
