Dito, maybe Samba as PDC is helpfull.

File serving is a relatively easy thing to configure, but you should begin using Debian now so that you are minimally comfortable with the system before you use it for real work. > The older mac files can be a pain, but I guess I can have hfs. Investigate the netatalk package, which is like Samba, but for Macs. You can use Netatalk to serve files to AppleTalk clients without using HFS on the server. > How do I control access to the files. With the unix permission model (rwxrwxrwx) or with a NT-style ACLs. > Can I use nt group membership ?

The winbind package, which is part of the Samba suite, can map SIDs from an NT domain onto unix UIDs and GIDs. You'll need to learn about the nsswitch facility (for ID mapping) and pam (for password authentication). Joyce, Matthew wrote: Hi, Does anyone here use Debian as a file server in a NT4 or AD domain ? I'm just wondering what headaches the integration would bring, we have w2k pro/ os9.2 and osx 10.2 on the desktops. The older mac files can be a pain, but I guess I can have hfs. How do I control access to the files. Can I use nt group membership ? Will samba help here ? Do I need to create all the user accounts within debian too ?

using debian in a NT4 or AD environment
Hi, Does anyone here use Debian as a file server in a NT4 or AD domain ? I'm just wondering what headaches the integration would bring, we have w2k pro/ os9.2 and osx 10.2 on the desktops. The older mac files can be a pain, but I guess I can have hfs. How do I control access to the files. Can I use nt group membership ? Will samba help here ? Do I need to create all the user accounts within debian too ? I only have 100+ users. this really is just a thought exercise, I'm not expecting to get any new hardware this year. Thanks.
