Hi Chris! If I understad your concerns right (don't know exactly, my english is not to good), then your problem is not really a pen-test problem, but a linux/windows problem. If you want to have access to the login-ID's of your Windows-Servers, then you have with Win2k a very good chance to solve this problem relativly easy. You just have to set up an LDAP (e.g. OpenLDAP)-Server, which acts as a proxy between your Linux-Workstations and the "Directory-Service" of your Windows-Servers. With this solution, it is also possible to do not just normal querys against the Win2k-LDAP-Server, but also the authentification of the UNIX-Clients via pam_ldap (but who really wants to do this!).

Hi all; I have a client that uses primarily Linux workstations for the end users. They use NT and Win2K servers for the storage of many networked applications and data. One of the concerns they have is if users on the network would be able enumerate the login IDs on the NT/Win2k servers from the Linux workstations. I have not seen anything on the net lately that would do this but I thought I would ask those who do this kind of thing all of the time. I am not Pen-tester by trade but I do dabble from time to time (when I have some, time that is). Can anyone lend a hand? Thnaks Chris
