I apologize in advance if this is a FAQ, but I couldn't find the FAQ document for this 
list. I also could not find anything relevant in other Samba documentation sources 
like http://hr.uoregon.edu/davidrl/samba.html.

There seems to be plenty of information about using Samba *as* a DC, but I want to 
know if I can use Samba *with* a Windows 2000 DC. We have two DCs running Windows 
2000, a W2K file server and a Linux/Samba file server (in standalone mode). We have to 
manage users and groups separately on the Linux and Windows systems, and that's no fun.

We are running Samba 2.2.7 on Red Hat 7.3 (although sometimes RH's version numbers are 
not quite in synch with the original developer's):

===
$ rpm -qa | grep samba
samba-common-2.2.7-1.7.3
samba-2.2.7-1.7.3
samba-swat-2.2.7-1.7.3
samba-client-2.2.7-1.7.3
===

Is the feature I want in this version? Or, is the feature I want in development? Or, 
is there some other setup I can use to get authentication out of the DCs via LDAP 
(Windows 2000 uses a moderately bastardized LDAP for authentication), and then have 
Samba use that?


Thanks in advance,
