    Hi Chris!
    
    If I understad your concerns right (don't know exactly, my english is not to
    good), then your problem is not really a pen-test problem, but a linux/windows
    problem.
    
    If you want to have access to the login-ID's of your Windows-Servers, then you
    have with Win2k a very good chance to solve this problem relativly easy.
    
    You just have to set up an LDAP (e.g. OpenLDAP)-Server, which acts as a proxy
    between your Linux-Workstations and the "Directory-Service" of your
    Windows-Servers.
    
    With this solution, it is also possible to do not just normal querys against
    the Win2k-LDAP-Server, but also the authentification of the UNIX-Clients via
    pam_ldap (but who really wants to do this!).
