Dear All,<br />
<br />
I would like to have some detailed discussion under this article.<br />
<br />
My manager asked me to create file sharing (Directory services) for our windows clients . Currently we use windows server, but he insist on changing to linux system. &nbsp;Where can I start and what do I need to read about. As you know there are different types of directory service, Samba, Redhat Directory services. openLDAP…etc.<br />
<br />
<b>Which one is good to go for, and where to start?</b><br />
<br />
thanks<br />
