I might end up trying SUSE after all, after some experimentation I'm forced to conclude that I don't have a compiler to build BIND, and I don't have the slightest idea how the repos work in red hat.<div><div></div>

I don't think you can get Samba to do DNS, maybe WINS? Wasn't DNS seperate in Windows NT Server and got added to the mix with Windows 2000 Server/AD?<br><br>Anyways here is a good place to start with Samaba and a DC. But it only addresses authentication.<br>

You don't need a DC for DNS, just DNS. Only in Windows-land are they practically synonymous/inseparable.<br>
<br>
Pick a distribution. Of the choices you offered, I would probably choose CentOS, but SUSE is easier and I haven't used it in a while, so maybe I'd do that.<br>
<br>
Then start configuring bind, but how you'll do that will depend on which distribution you chose, how your network is laid out, whether you have or want DHCP, and if so, how that's set up.<br>

<br>
<br>
OK, I realize this is going to make me kind of a linux idiot, but I'm looking at making a walled off linux "secret-garden" on my home network. I don't think I need Active Directory or DHCP, but I do need DNS/name resolution, so before I stop at the bookstore on the way home, I thought I'd ping the mailing list. Has anyone seen any good useful/newbie-friendly guides for how to create a linux DC? Distro has to be Red Hat/Suse or CentOS.<br>
