I've read in a few places now (after Googling for some information) that Windows XP Home Edition can be modified/hacked such that it is capable of authenticating with an Active Directory (samba) domain.

I'm going to be instating a samba domain in my home, but not everyone is using a computer that is "Active Directory aware". Some machines are Windows XP Professional (a whole two), some are Windows XP Home Edition (three), some Windows 98 (three), one Windows 95, and a few *NIX desktops (FreeBSD, Fedora, and Debian). I'd like all of these machines to be able to authenticate via the samba-powered domain, but I'm more concerned about the XP Home machines at the moment.

Does anybody here have any information about how to do this? Perhaps some good sites to visit on the topic?
