First of all you need SAMBA installed and configured. The relevant entries
in /etc/smb.conf should look something like this (my version SAMBA is
2.0.6):
workgroup = mydomain
NetBIOS name = mylinuxmachine ;(this will be the netbios name that windows
sees)
security = domain
password server = *
encrypt passwords = yes
then on your NT PDC or BDC go to server manager. Add a new NT workstation to
the domain with a name the same as the NetBIOS name you entered in smb.conf.
Next go back to the linux machine as root. Enter: smbpasswd -j mydomain -r
pdc-netbiosname -U administrator-on-NT
Substitute your domain name, linux machine name and netbios name of your PDC
as required. NOTE: "security = domain" should not be changed - it's exactly
that.
To get Samba to recognise the new config do: /etc/rc.d/init.d/smb restart
