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!

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