This how-to requires two NICs in order to preform firewalling and transparent proxying. Read more at HowtoForge
This tutorial shows how to configure Zimbra Collaboration Server (ZCS) and Samba to act as a primary domain controller (PDC) that uses LDAP as a centralized database for authenticating users on Linux and Windows desktops. Read more at HowtoForge
To easily share your files to linux and windows clients, samba is still the preferred choice. In this guide I will show how to setup a samba server on centos 5 machine, that can be accessed only by certain people protected by password. Read more at Tux Training
One of the quickest and easiest ways to save quite a bit of money on your network is to utilize a Suse Linux Enterprise Server (or any other GNU/Linux Server) as a Domain Controller for Windows Clients.

In this article, I give you the steps you need to use Samba to join to a Windows domain. The primary domain controller (PDC) will serve as the password server for the domain. If Samba and winbind services are running, turn them off. I will show you how turn them on after you join to [...]
This document describes how to set up the Mandriva Directory Server (MDS)
on Debian Etch. The resulting system provides a full-featured office
server for small and medium companies – easy to administer via the
web-based Mandriva Management Console (MMC).
If you need to share files or printers with Windows machines, you’re likely using Samba
and know how to administer and configure it by editing configuration
files and starting and stopping the daemon. However, there’s an easier,
graphical way to configure your box: the Samba Web Administration Tool.
In Part 1
we set up a simple anonymous Samba file and printer server. Now we’re
going to share it across subnets. Both Windows and Linux clients will
be able to use this server. Our example network has three segments, as
this elegant ASCII network diagram shows:
It’s a common belief that Samba shares cannot be accessed across subnets. But actually Samba can cross subnets. It’s easy for Linux hosts, and a bit less easy for Windows clients. But fear not, for we shall guide you through safely past the traps and pitfalls.
This document is a step by step guide for configuring Ubuntu 7.10 as a
Samba Domain Controller with an LDAP backend (OpenLDAP). The point is
to configure a server that can be comparable, from a central
authentication point of view, to a Windows Server 2003 Domain
Controller. The end result will be a server with an LDAP directory for
storing user, group, and computer accounts. A Windows XP Professional
SP2 workstation will be able to join the domain once properly
configured. Please note that you do not have a fully comparable Windows

Domaincontroller for small workgroups (up to 250 users) on Fedora 8
with the Samba Web Administration Tool. The resulting system provides an easy to manage domaincontroller for your Windows network.
