Linux and Windows domain controllers

[Guest]

This may seem like a silly question, but my company currently has a linux file server that is a domain controller and a NT4 server. When trying to upgrade to 2000 server, windows doesn't like being a secondary domain controller. Is there anyway that 2000 server and linux can co-exist as domain controllers

Thanks

Hi - I'm not sure how a Linux box can be a Windows domain controller. Can
you provide more info about your setup?

It will do it NT style, but not 2000 style because of AD.

Forgot to mention - the product used - works in any Unix so far as I
am aware - is Samba. I've seen the parameters when setting up Samba,
but I've never used it myself.

I knew about Samba but thought it was just used to access *nix
resources....not to have a server act as a DC....my knowledge of *nix stuff
is pretty limited.
