Those links should get you going.
For the most part, it wont be to difficult to get the samba server up and running and acting as a PDC. It will take some testing and tweaking, but it should get you up and running pretty quickly.
I run a PDC here at our company that hosts 40+ users who are all on Win2k. I've heard that XP can pose problems with samba, but im not sure exactly what the problem is.
I hope this helps.

I have been asked to set up a Linux Samba file server as well as set up user-level access control for a medium sized real estate agency. Currently, the office is a on a single workgroup and there is only one UID for all users.
The owner wants to set up individual accounts and server spaces for each agent. Until I can convince him that converting everyone to Linux workstations, I have to support the Win2K/XP clients.
I was thinking that I should set up a Samba PDC for account/access control and file services.
I have experience in both Linux and windows, but don't have much experience in making them work together. (I've set up a Samba server in SHARE mode, but I need user/server security.)
Anybody willing to do a little hand-holding on this?
