NT Tools in Linux

**Schotty** · 08-16-2002, 03:00 PM

I am looking at a User Manger for NT and a Server Manager for NT type apps for linux. I am currently working on wine to get the job done, but I am not sure if wine will pass any of the domain login data to the program (thus making it useless).

Any ideas?

The NT box, is it a PDC or a BDC? If it is a BDC why not setup your linux box with samba acting as a PDC?

Or am I misunderstanding your question entirely?

I know Novell has a tool for that, so in theory, it is possible. I have not seen any for Linux, though.

No -- the 4 NT servers we have arent getting converted any time soon -- trust me I tried ;D What I want to do, since I ditched XP, is to still admin the servers and such from my linux rig. I need some tools for that. I am eventually going to try Wine (codeweavers and transgaming are installed now) and see how that route goes. I have a bunch of SMB shares mounted, so maybe the pipe is already there .... who knows.
