I’m not going to try to write a how-to on this, but suffice to say that it finally works!
I configured Samba3, PAM, and Kerberos on Ubuntu 9.10, and I can share folders to Windows client workstations using their existing authentication to the domain controller. I can even set ACLs that seem to be obeyed, and use Windows group membership to determine access rights.
Here are some links with relevant information:

The Samba WIKI (geared towards RHEL, but still helpful.)
How To Integrate Samba Using Active Directory For Authentication (geared towards Gentoo linux, but still helpful)
Ubuntu Samba info

I’ll certainly try to answer any questions you’ve got, just post ‘em.

I just installed Ampache on Ubuntu-10.04 LTS. All I can say is WOW. You need this… Right now…
I’ve got an mp3 archive somewhere in the neighborhood of 135GB, making it too large for traditional file sharing.
Ampache is the answer.

Linux has become a very utilitarian object for me. I use it in lots of places and situations to make life easier. In fact, most large OEM computer manufacturers have realised this, and use/ship Linux boot CDs to install firmware and low-level drivers. (some even facilitate the installation of a Windows OS to disk using GNU tools.)

Anyway, I’ve been running Ubuntu Linux (Intrepid) as a host OS on a Lenovo X61 tablet. It has everything I need for network engineering, security analysis, troubleshooting, and programming, right there up against the hardware. For tasks requiring the use of Windows, I can boot a virtual machine in Virtualbox, and use that. Today, after booting up, I noticed that I’ve been running the default Intrepid theme since install. I decided it’s time for a change. I went looking for themes, and found:

Nice work, Mr. Vogelweith. Easy to install, beautiful to see. Thank you for sharing. I hope you don’t mind that I changed your logo just slightly, it wouldn’t show up here otherwise!

antivirus on linux is like lipstick on a pig… sure, you can put it there, but it’s a waste of time, and it annoys the pig…
