Adding Fedora Box onto Windows AD Domain

Hello,

I have just started out with Red Hat Fedora, and know relatively little
about it. I am looking to add the machine onto a windows server 2003
Active Directory, but am not sure how to go about this.

I am looking at the authentication configuration, where it lists NIS,
LDAP and Kerberos as authentication methods, and am confused!!

Any help would be gratefully received!

Thanks.

You need winbind which is part of the samba suite. The Samba
documentation on www.samba.org is very good.
