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!).
