Linux cannot serve as a Windows Domain Controller. &nbsp;Only Windows NT Server can to that. &nbsp;Linux, however, can share it's file systems with an NT box via SAMBA. &nbsp;If you configure your linux/samba system to share one of more directories, you can map them from NT. &nbsp;You will be asked for your linux username and password to connect to the share and should be able to access it from then on as any normal network resource. It cannot and will not provide logon authentication like an NT server.<br />

But I don't want to fill in my username and password everytime I connect to another drive.<br />
Isn't it posible to send the username and password to the linux box at logon time? like with win95?<br />

Is there a way to let my WinNT 4.0 (standalone) server log on to my linux box?<br />
I'm running linux 2.0.30 with samba 1.9.18<br />
When I tell my WinNT machine to use a domain instead of a workgroup it tells me it can't find a Primary Domain Controler.<br />

The Windows operating systems have distinct methodologies for designing and implementing networks, and have specific systems to accomplish various networking processes, such as Exchange for email, Sharepoint for shared files and programs, and IIS for delivery of web pages. Microsoft also produces server technologies for networked database use, security and virtualization.
