Can Kerberos Server 5 be run on Arch Linux and Windows Clients use it?

Hi There,

I was wondering (before I invested a great deal of time into it) if I could run a kerberos 5 server on my Arch box and get a Windows machine on my network to use it to log into Windows? (eg. like a domain)

I've tried doing the same with Samba 4 (which I bet will be massive when it's eventually released!), but it doesn't really work too great at the moment and wondered if I could achieve what I wanted with Kerberos 5?

I have DNS & DHCP already running and Samba 3 for network shares; but I really want the whole SSO package for all my machines. I know it's possible for my Mac Laptop to use Kerberos, but just not sure about Windows (XP/2003/7)

Thanks,
Tom

I will post something when I get the last issues ironed out. There is very little information about this anywhere let-alone on Arch wiki! It has been a real struggle, shame Samba 4 isn't more stable/working.

Stuff like M$ just decided to disable DES encryption by default in Windows 7. You know; the usual c**p-ness!
