Sir,
I would like to know that can I log into our domain which is on NT Server through Linux, mean to say that Linux should act as a PDC and Nt server should act as a BDC. Presently all our users login into NT Server domain. Please tell me how should I make the users Login into Linux and Linux sends to NT Server for authntication. I just know that a Linux box should be running Samba Server. Please tell me more what to do? Reply,
Manish.

AS far as I can tell there is a way of authenticating ms users on a linux "pdc" the hierarquical model given by microsoft is a model for windows use only I think you are trying the oposite way. Why can't the NT Server act as a PDC and you replicate the user database on the linux server giving your users a global security policy at the same time providing access to both?? By the way I have the experience that any BDC unable to find a PDC will submit himself to a process of promotion becoming thede facto PDC. Any questions or doubts send me a mail.
