If you want other machines on the network to be able to browse this machine, then domain member is probably what you want. It's all in the Samba HOWTO at http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-HOWTO/domain-member.html#domain-member-server. > Them if is posible, i will need samba software?

I'm afraid Samba can only act as a BDC to a _Samba_ PDC, so it looks like you're out of luck here. This is also in the Samba HOWTO: http://us5.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba3-HOWTO/samba-bdc.html#id2549809 Ross -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.7 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFC4Lrd9bR4xmappRARApF3AJ9kqvletYcsNjARK/sLUPkYUsrQKwCgtwWY znkEsbqcDqG9Zh2h/6Ub3Pk= =cVA7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
