Hello,

I wonder if you could assist.

We are setting up a SAMBA box to handle all authentication from Win 98 =
machines. This is no problem however we have come into what might be a =
problem, there is an NT 4.0 PDC box acting as a gateway and firewall. =
There is no real way to downgrade this as in Server 2000, one would need =
to reinstall NT 4.0 to downgrade to a member server.=20

But we can't reinstall it just yet as the setup of the proxy and these =
type of things can only be done at a later stage.

Can one install a Samba box handling authentication ( pdc ) while there =
is another pdc doing this? What options are available in this type of =
situation?


Many Thanks


Daryl
