  2. Windows 2000 *IS* the problem ... by BitMan · · Score: 2 · on Windows 2000 Directory Support While Keeping Unix?

    Windows 2000 is designed to market a Windows server-dependency. The IEEE Computer Society's latest August 2000 (Vol. 33, No. 8) Computer magazine featured an article called Windows 2000: A Threat to Internet Diversity and Open Standards? (PDF available to members here).

    A such, you need to adopt a Windows server-free network. This includes holding off on Windows 2000 until either Samba supports its interfaces (will take some reverse engineering) or someone finds a way to have it use NIS/NIS+ for authentication -- e.g., NISGINA does for NT 4.0. At my company, Theseus Logic, we use NISGINA instead of Samba TNG (just use regular Samba 2.0.7) to deal with authentication of NT 4.0 systems.
