[gentoo-server] manging windows

[Steven Williamson]

Does anybody mange a windows network from linux specifically gentoo?
What software do you use to achive this. Im mostly interessted in achiveing single sign on with LDAP
and controlling access to samba servers. But im also looking for possibilites regarding managing software deployment.
I have had a brief look at unattended (on sourceforge) anyone any experince with this? or similar set-ups?

many thanks
