We run winbind and pam_mount.   No unix accounts required and Windows shares are automatically mount/unmounted when users log in/out.

Hi all,

Some 75% of our users (a lot of them) will be using both our Windows
NT/2000 domain machines and our LTSP network, accessing their NT file
shares from the Linux side.  I'm trying to avoid having to recreate
accounts and synchronize them and all those headaches... is that possible?
 In reading an article on SAMBA, which I thought would do this
(http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1998-10/lw-10-samba-p6.html) I
found that while it authenticates NT domain users, each user still needs a
local account on the unix-based server...  precisely what I'm trying to
avoid.

Any thoughts?  If I DO need duplicate accounts, has anyone written a
script that will batch import NT4.0 Users and / or synchronize them with a
Red Hat 7.0 server?

Thanks!
