Domain Controller

Hello-
I am new to linux and i have been browsing through some books and forums and I am trying to find out how to make my linux box a domain controller in my domain. I want to put all my logon profiles and all my authentication for users to log on to the domain onto my linux. Can anyone explain how to do this.

I appreciate any help

oh im running fedora core 4 thanks

well if your using Fedora it's very easy, try one of my serversetup scripts

other wise, look around my website listed below, there is a heap of information about setting up samba, openldap and lam as a PDC.

http://www.opensourcehowto.org/how-t...-policies.html - Samba Primary Domain Controller with Group Policies

http://www.opensourcehowto.org/how-t...ba-as-pdc.html - OpenLDAP + LAM + Samba as PDC

hmm yea im not 100% sure what all of that means lol, is there like a tutorial on this anywhere? i wnet to the oen with the group poloces i got the custom.adm to work but the winnt and common didnt work. i was hoping there would be a way to do it with a wysisyg kind of thing. if not thats fine i want to learn all the command line anyways i just want to get it up and running. thakns

well if your using a Fedora/RHEL/Centos distro then that server setup script is going to be the easiest way to set it up.

Pretty much any how-to is going to be via the command line, but once that is done there tend to be web based administration interfaces like LAM.
