Okay, but I still will have to integrate the system into the NT  
network, or am I misuinderstanding something?
I think this should work via Samba, or are there any other  
possibilities? I expect that I won´t be able to connect the Linux  
server by other means, or are there?

Thanks for this great link.
Looks very user-friendly, so I will do my homework!
