[Samba] Samba 3 as a client on a Win2k domain server

[Jorge Pinto]

Hi to everybody !!!

I have a intranet where win2k machines are domain controlers and i have too linux machines serving databases. Currently those linux servers share its data using samba 2, so i keep users lists in each linux server to authenticate them. Now, i would like to upgrade my samba software to samba 3 and authenticate users on win2k domain. I found many material on internet about this subject and i tried to do many things but without success.

Are there any site, page, tutorial or manual i can access to make my task easier?
Once into domain, a linux server appear into microsoft neighborhood? if so, do i need reenter user and password when i double click on this machine?

I would appreciate some help.

Thanks to all.
