 Onderwerp: Can FreeBSD be a PDC for microsoft machines?
 
 I am a new user about FreeBSD, I have installed two computers 
 with this OS and I think is good.
 
 I want to know if FreeBSD can operate as a Primary Domain 
 Controller in a Network, because where I live everybody has 
 microsoft computers so I want to use FreeBSD as server 
 instead Windows NT o 2000.

You can use samba for PDC (NT 4.0 domain structure) or Active Directory
Memberserver 
Not yet as a Domain Controler.

 If you know how to do that, plaese let me know. Or tell me 
 what to read about.

You have to use FreeBSd 5.X because (Pleasy people correct me if i'm wrong)
for domain control you need winbind witch in turn needs NSS and that is not 
available in FreeBSD 4.x

The only problem 5.X is still technology relase so make your own dission 
in using 5.X

You can read about it at www.samba.org
Read the release notes of the version you are using for its features

 Thank you!

No problem

Regards Ricard.

It's in the ports, but you can read about it at the website first

Hmm - I don't know if Samba can do what I *think* he means. Allow me to 
expand. I'm thinking he means as in Active Directory. A Domain.

I first did a fast search of the ports - See below:

racerx# make search key=active dir | more
Port:   adtool-1.2
Path:   /usr/ports/sysutils/adtool
Info:   Active Directory administration tool
Maint:  [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Index:  sysutils
B-deps: expat-1.95.6_1 gettext-0.12.1 gmake-3.80_1 libiconv-1.9.1_3 
openldap-cli
ent-2.1.26
R-deps: openldap-client-2.1.26


I'm willing to bet there may be something there for you. Always use make 
search key (as root - from /usr/ports) to seek something.

It's no use guessing at what he means.  What he *says* is a PDC in 
place of a NT server.  Samba can do that.  Active Directory is just 
that, a directory service, not a domain controller.  A Samba PDC can't 
host Active Directory, but neither can NT.

I believe hat's a tool to permit access (via LDAP) to an Active 
Directory registry existing on a W2K/XP machine.
