Jennifer,
I'm doing this myself right now, that is, using Samba for pass-through auth
Here's a quick bulleted list. It assumes you have a basic Samba config
present. See www.samba.org for this.
---W2K pass-through auth---
- use at least Samba v2.2.4
- save existing samba.conf file --> new install will copy to samba.bak
- when authenticating to W2K domain do the following:
1. make a computer account for the samba server in AD Users &
Computers
select computer option "Allows Pre-W2K computers to use account"
samba server will look like a NT4 box to W2K
2. in samba, run "smbpasswd -r "PDCname" -j "domainname" --> samba
will prompt for
username/password then will confim successful join
3. in sbm.conf file, under Global options section set the following:
password server --> "PDCname" OR "*" to dynamically find
DC(as is listed in WINS with <1C> record)
security=domain
- I initially had problems because my Samba server had incorrect DNS server
list --> otherwise everything OK

Subject: [ActiveDir] Question about Samba on HP Unix and AD
Hi Guys,
We currently have active directories on our network and have many Unix boxes
that we would like to install samba and still use the AD security. Has
anyone configured something similar and how did they do it?
