You can certainly do this with CentOS-5. You will want to install samba and join the server to your Active Directory domain ... here is a guide that works: http://www.howtoforge.com/samba_ads_security_mode (skip the part that has you download new samba RPMS from samba.org ... the centOS 5 RPMS work OK for ADS ... you will want to use winbind) You will most likely want to make sure that you have ACL support for CentOS-5 and you will want to edit the /etc/fstab and change your shared folder to have ACL support. Here is an article on ACLs for centos: http://techxworld.com/community/blogs/features/archive/2007/05/21/acls-on-samba.aspx To do this, you should ensure that you have created a separate partition/mount for the file shares. I usually do this in /home/samba/ for public shared items and /home/<DOMAIN>/ for the users home directories ... and I usually have home as a separate mount ... like this: /dev/sda4 /home ext3 defaults,acl 0 0 You will need to be able to use the getfacl and setfacl commands to setup initial permissions.
