Which things need to authenticate? At my current workplace, I've set up
Samba with an LDAP backend. Linux machines, switches, web applications
and various devices authenticate directly against the LDAP backend;
Windows machines (or anything which needs Windows authentication and
file services) use Samba. It all plays nicely and satisfies all our
current needs. What are your needs? Do you have a specific requirement
for Active Directory (or equivalent)?
Is it possible to do this without any windows's system which act as
any authority ?
Absolutely.
Wat I mean is that I would like to do this only one linux's computer....
Unless your network is very small, I'd recommend using a minimum of two,
so that your whole system doesn't fail because of a problem on your only
domain controller.
I have a similar backend, with Samba 3.x DC's. When you change your
Windows password, samba will also change your unix password. Linux
users can use the "smbpasswd" command to change their unix+samba
passwords in one step. So, in effect, there is a "single"
unix/ldap/windows password.
I use oracle (sun) directory server which supports multi-master
replication. this allows me to have multiple domain controllers,
since each DC has a writable backend.
