Do you mean, "the equivalent sort of stuff for a Linux network," which would be XDM-plus-a-centrally-accessible-user-pool (usually done via NIS and NFS, although that may be not the best choice)? Or do you mean "Samba acting as a Primary Domain Controller" which gives you NT domain functionality but running from a Linux server? Adam
