For my part, though, I have only managed peer to peer Win98 to Linux via Samba so far. This was a venture into a strange land in itself. Now linking upto an RM/NT domain with global user logins starts to become a different game. I have been reading all the technical posts on this site and thinking that I want to to get stuck into this nightmare like I want a hole in my head! Maybe the way forward that we are looking for is a distro that can autoconnect you to the RM server. The option of easily connecting either OS could keep a lot of people happy and appeals greatly. What do you and people think? Is this possible? Could it be an easier option than a full blown setup like www.bluelinux.org are working on?
We have linked up Linux and RM/NT networks before, complete with global user logins. We are planning to build this in as a standard feature at some point. How much interest would there be in some kind of Linux/Windows integration workshop? I'm thinking of a one-day event covering topics like Samba, unified authentication, Cygwin/XFree86, rdesktop etc. Michael
