DNS and MS ADS are two different beasts. DNS resolves Host <> IP# with pointers to mail server and name server and a few other things. Whereas ADS is more like a single sign on (SSO) product based on LDAP+Kerberos (both open standards) put together with proprietary MS extensions. You can do DNS with the bind package. You can do openLDAP + Samba PDC (NT 4.0 equivalent). Samba 4 (still in development) is attempting to provide ADS functionality but setting it up is not for the faint of heart. Also, I would strongly suggest that you have a reasonable understanding of LDAP+Kerberos at an architectural level before you dive into implementation. > And also i > want to connect windows xp as a client to linux server please send me > details how can i do that.
