so, as i understand this, one can setup samba+MIT kerberos to achieve authentication and file & print services just like AD does. Right!? so, whats the challenge here? - 1. migrating the data from AD to LDAP. munging the passwords and then importing it in LDAP. 2. do i need to re-join the clients to the samba domain. !? 3. for the time being, i think incporporating DNS, DHCP like AD does is out of the scope of our discussion. Haven;t found any thing on web that can help me setting this kind of a thing. Can you please point me to such a documentation.
