rather to run samba as a domain controller and have w2k authenticate off of samba. so it looks something like this: --openldap configured with the samba schema somewhere on the network. --samba 2.2 or greater running on an OS that supports nssldap and PAM: see http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb-howto.html for lots more detail.
Or just samba compiled with the --enable-ldapsam option. Bypasses PAM. Rootdn is stored in the secrets.tdb file though. <snip>
