If you wish to have Samba act as a PDC for Windows NT 4.0/2000 client, then you will need to obtain the 2.2.0 version. Release of a stable, full featured Samba PDC is currently slated for version 3.0. The following is a list of included features currently in Samba 2.2: • The ability to act as a limited PDC for Windows NT and W2000 clients. This includes adding NT and W2K machines to the domain and authenticating users logging into the domain. • Domain account can be viewed using the User Manager for Domains • Viewing/adding/deleting resources on the Samba PDC via the Server Manager for Domains from the NT client. • Windows 95/98/ME clients will allow user level security to be set and browsing of domain accounts. • Machine account password updates. • Changing of user passwords from an NT client. • Partial support for Windows NT username mapping. Group name mapping is slated for a later release.
