[KLUG Members] LDAP and Active Directory

I have on my practice network, a Windows 2000 Server and a Linux box 
running roughly SuSE 7.1.  I would like the Linux box to act like an Active 
Directory Domain Controller and synchronize with the 2000 server.  Since 
Active Directory sits on top of LDAP and Kerberos, and both of the above 
can run on Linux, I think this should be possible, but I have almost no 
idea how to make it work.  Dynamic DNS is running on the Linux server, and 
appears to be taking updates from the Windows machine, but that's as far as 
I've gotten.  Anybody else out there tried a stunt like this, or have 
suggestions on how to make it happen?  

In the event (unlikely as it seems right now) that I get this working, I'd 
be willing to do a presentation if there's interest.
