I plan to use Samba boxes as login servers on networks currently running NT4 as we phase out the NT boxes so I really need to get this working with full PDC capabilities, but I thought I'd start slow, so I set up a Debian Woody box with the latest Samba using dselect.well, depends what you mean by "Full PDC". The "normal" samba does not (yet) have FULL PDC
Samba 2.2 has full NT4 PDC support. IIRC samba-tng (the upcoming Samba 3.0, I think) will have at least partial support for ActiveDirectory.
Debian's winbind package is key - it provides an NSS module, a PAM module, and a winbindd daemon. The loadable modules contact winbindd to resolve the Windows SIDs into unique UNIX UIDs & GIDs.
It lets you make Linux "internet appliances" that use NT4 PDCs & BDCs for all username and password authentication.
