Question Linux connecting to Windows Server?

How would I connect my Mandrake 9.1 box to a Windows Server and Windows Domain? How could I log into the windows server domain?
Any instructions on this or utils?

Mike

You need to look into using samba.

Lot's of thread here about samba.

Actually, I've been looking at using "smbpasswd" but I think I have to use some steps before this?

Yes I know there is no login prompt.
I guess I will wait for a solid release of Samba 3.0.
It seems to be able to get the job done. Active Directory and all.
