Have been messing with this problem for quite some time now and googled till I was in the deepest and darkest corners of the internet but I just cant seem to find the answer, here is my problem:

At my work we have an Windows NT4 domain where the users log in with their Windows 95/98/Me/2000 machines. To bring down the cost of the things they asked me to look if I could find a way to replace the windows clients with linux. So I installed fedora core 3 on a testing machine to see if it would work out. everything works fine on application level but I cant login on the Windows domain. I tried winbind but it didnt work out.
I found a guide somewhere that explained how to do it with samba and winbind, it asked me to edit some files in /etc/pam.d/ (the files where "common-account" and more "common-" files) but these files just arent there in my dir.

does someone know how to login to a NT domain or tell me what I've done wrong?
