Brian,
The product you are looking for to handle the PDC functions in a
Windoze environment from a Linux box is a feature of Samba called
winbindd I don't know what the 7.3 distro has regarding Samba, but most
of the later distros came with it already installed. By installing
winbind into your existing Samba server you can not only set up a PDC to
authenticate windoze boxes, however you can also take over as the Master
Browser and many other features, take a look at the Samba site at:
http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/ for more information. I must admit, it
works very well. You can even use the authentication from Windoze boxes
onto your linux server.
His humble servant,

Subject: W2k -> Linux PDC/Web Server
A project that I have to do is transfer a Windows 2000 PDC over to
a Linux=20
PDC. The Linux version is going to completely replace the Win2k server.
I am=20
not concerned with saving users and converting them over to Linux. I
will=20
simply do that by hand, I don't have very many users. What I need to
know how=20
to do is set up the server to be a Primary Domain Controller. The
primary=20
services of this are going to be User Authentication for logging into
the=20
domain (Logging into workstations), Web server(Apache w/ssl, no
problem), FTP=20
server, and SSH. If anyone has any experience or knowledge in Linus
PDC's=20
please let me know. I am going to be using RedHat 7.3.
