RedHat/CentOS environment discovery

Question

I am working with a new client who lost their IT person and are trying to document what they have. It's a Linux/SunOS environment.

I am trying to find their Samba or equivalent user management server but so far have been unable to do so.

From a client machine, Windows or Linux, what is the best way to go about locating this server?

No _krb records in DNS? I'd start there, if something like IPA was in use. Might have some custom records for OpenLDAP too — dyasny, Feb 28 '14 at 18:22

Use nmap and specify the ports to look for. A list of used port on samba is available here

history is also your best friend whenever you are going into a new environment. I would do this first so you dont' lose anything

history > history.txt

On all machines so you can preserve everything previous root user did

Also netstat -lan

You can see what servers it is currently connecting to and on what ports.
