I did see a very simple step-by-step at > http://www.reallylinux.com/docs/sambaserver.shtml ---- 1 - samba 4 isn't available yet - the above link mentions nothing about kerberos so it has to be worthless when considering joining an AD network. 2 - official samba docs see 'By Example' gives you a walk through and 'How-To' has all of the technical data necessary to join an AD network. 3 - I haven't done this with AD since I am not a proponent of AD and proprietary methodologies that don't extend well or easily. 4 - I wouldn't expect it to make much of a difference whether it was SuSE or Red Hat or even a Red Hat clone like CentOS Lastly, I guess I don't understand the logic of ***why*** you want to put a samba server into an entirely Microsoft network as you haven't explained it.
