Hey all, sorry for the low level question, but basically I’m looking for the easiest way to set up something like a Windows AD. This would be for something like 10 computers at a local church where I do a lot of their infrastructure work. Is also be interested in sound something similar on my home network, but a while directory is probably overkill. And any suggestions on learnings or other suggestions appreciated!
AD is basically LDAP+Kerberos, plus some tools to manage system and user configuration using LDAP.
So for Linux it would be those two tools, and roll your own tools for config.
Or just use Samba which handles a lot of this in the same way as AD.
Thanks for the response! Can Samba handle things like group policy as well?

That should get you going on a near peer feature set to AD
