active directory

[Massie]

For a school task i need to get active directory on linux, i though that was a service only for windows. I have no idea how to begin.

AD is Windows only. There are various directory servers, Novell, Sun, Fedora, OpenLDAP, that run on Linux, but none do everything AD does.

Sounds as if you may have misinterpreted the instructions, is that possible?

+1 for misunderstanding or something was lost in communication however I believe you can find samba 4 in F11 repositories.

But I think you were asked to do something less ambitious like joining an AD.
