Hi,
Is it possible to configure a CentOS4.x machine to perform a network logon with a samba server, like we can do with windows xp without having to create local users?
Thanks.

---- a samba logon requires a local account so the premise of the question isn't clear.
NIX & LDAP are authentication methodologies that can be used across different servers for user authentication. On CentOS 4, you can use smb authentication presuming that you have a suitable Windows type server mechanism.
Note that all of these implementations still have some ties to a 'local' account.

Samba only supports NT Domains but that will do the job. Windows XP still supports NT Domains. So yes, you can configure a Centos 4.x machine to handle a domain.
