FC5 joining Domain Controller (win2003)

At work we have got Active Directory win2003 , and the OSs here are windows 2003 and windows XP.

From my winodws box, I can access the domain as normal user, by suing (username:zillah, password :niceforum), and also I can access the PC as stand alone workstation, by using (username: administrator, password: junk)

At work how can I configure my laptop (FC5) to join the domain ? What should I take in the consideration to achieve this ?

When I googled I found many URLs, what i am looking is to see some tutorial (steps- by-steps either : Figures, or commands line) to follow the steps to make sure, that I am doing the right things.

Note: one issue is to use samba

I tried to start the process of samba installation from scratch, but i could not get it done!!!! What I have done is this :

[root@localhost ~]# man samba
No manual entry for samba
[root@localhost log]# smbd -V
bash: smbd: command not found
[root@localhost ~]# ls -Rl | grep samba*
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qa | grep samba*
samba-client-3.0.21b-2
samba-common-3.0.21b-2

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -i samba-client-3.0.21b-2
error: open of samba-client-3.0.21b-2 failed: No such file or directory
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -i samba-common-3.0.21b-2
error: open of samba-common-3.0.21b-2 failed: No such file or directory

[root@localhost ~]# apt -get install samba swat
bash: apt: command not found


I tried to use less /var/log/packages/samba*

[root@localhost ~]# cd /var/log
[root@localhost log]# ls
anaconda.log btmp gdm maillog scrollkeeper.log wtmp
anaconda.syslog cron httpd messages secure Xorg.0.log
anaconda.xlog cups lastlog ppp spooler Xorg.0.log.old
boot.log dmesg mail samba vbox yum.log

[root@localhost log]# cd samba
[root@localhost samba]# ls
[root@localhost samba]# ls -al

drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jan 20 13:51 ..

Desktop --> System Settings --> Server Settings --> Samba
I could not find any thing

Any comment where is my mistake ?

Regards

[root@localhost ~]# rpm -i samba-client-3.0.21b-2

Rpm program is not an automated tool for downloading and installing packages, with the -i argument it expects the exact filename of an existing RPM package file to install. So you would have to download or copy the FC6 package from it's CDs/DVD that contains the samba and provide it's path to rpm program for installation, i.e.

rpm -i /path/to/samba-server-3.x.rpm

If you want an application that allows you to automatically search, download and install RPM packages over the internet, try using yum. If it is not installed, you can find it here .

I am not sure how they have broken down Samba in fedora's packages, they apparently have a separate package for the client. Try looking for packages with similar naming.

I'm sorry that I can't provide you with step-by step instructions as I don't use fedora, however, keep in mind that because of how Unix works, blind step-by-step tutorials are never guaranteed to work, you need to study things in some depth in order to not have trouble. This is the cost for it's flexibility.

Thanks for this feedback.

I tried here : www.planetmy.com/blog/?p=248

By the way i have upgraded OS to FC6

I have installed all the required packages that have been mentioned, the only thing that I have not touch is Network Time Protocol.
