System Administrator's Guide to Heterogeneous Networking.
Heterogeneous networks are now a fact of life. System administrators realize they can improve reliability and save money by deploying Linux in an environment that features Windows systems and domains. This book presents unique information that is not easily obtained from other sources-details required for selectively migrating to Linux or integrating Linux systems into environments on both the server and the desktop. Linux in a Windows World describes how to make Samba and LDAP work in a Windows domain and how to set up desktop Linux as a viable alternative to Windows. There's also detailed coverage on the interface between systems such as Active Directory and OpenLDAP.
