One thing that should be noted is that if you are authenticating against 2008r2, you will need to upgrade samba to samba3x BEFORE running through this setup, otherwise you will get an NT_STATUS_PIPE_DISCONNECTED error.

For RHEL 5x, it’s as simple as this…

yum erase samba samba-common
yum install samba3x samba3x-client

How about a guide to authenticate to AD with Fedora or RedHat Directory Service.

We use a product called likewise (http://www.likewisesoftware.com/) and love it! Currently we’re using there enterprise version which is a license based but they do have an open version of their product as well to play with (http://www.likewisesoftware.com/products/likewise_open/index.php) Good Luck!

Wow! I didn’t even realize at first that I was reading something on a Microsoft site. Though I think that the author made a few things more difficult than necessary (probably prodded to do so by PR rep), it was overall a very good article.

I looked for a link to provide them feedback, but didn’t see it. Not something I often say, but kudos to Microsoft for publishing this article! Well written and good info.
