Looking for a mentor/adviser

[sean at theparsonsfamily.com]

Craig,
 It has never been my intention to deprive anyone of anything, but this
forum is not appropriate for a project like this as I can't seem to build
the network on my own, as my failed attempts have shown.

Your comment about AD is what I thought and have been proven wrong
numerous times with catastrophic results. Samba in it's current
configuration doesn't work with Kerberos and LDAP except for NT4 and I'm
running Server 2003, so it broke the Domain Controllers when Linux
attempted to join the domain. I have been through the Samba forums and
documentation and it's not as simple as it is made to look in an existing
network.

My request is for someone willing to work with me on a project to build an
equivalent Linux network to the one I currently manage and at the same
time help me to get past the learning hurdles I haven't been able to jump.

If you want to participate, that's fine, but I need to meet my current
goal in a reasonable time/budget and after that I have no problem with
people using this "sandbox" for other reasonable goals. If I can
successfully reach my goal then I will attempt to re-create for my
production environment, later.

I'd welcome anyone's assistance.
