[LI] networking-advice needed

[anup narayanan <anupnarayanan@xxxxxxx>]

hai,
i am planning to set up a linux network.basically i want to have linux
machines + winnt in it.how can i make my linux machine a logon server for all
the machines.i also want to have centralised authentication for all the users
so that their user name and passwords get verified in one single
computer.(much like a pdc in an nt domain).
is nfs better than browsing thru network neighbourhood in winnt.?
i gather that this gives all the directories the user needs in their
respective computer itself.how can i automount such shares at boottime
itself.is it some setting in /etc/fstab.could somebody please gimme the
correct syntax for this.
is an nis domain more secure than an nt domain.if so how.
thanks
anup
