Attached is a patch against SAMBA_2_2 that we find useful at our site for integrating our domain-member Samba servers with our non-domain-member clients.
The background to this is that our Samba servers use "security = domain" authentication for user accounts, but not all our Windows clients are members of the domain, with the result that the clients often want to map shares using non-domain "clientname\user" style accounts. The patch implements an "ignore client domain" option which forces Samba to use the server's own domain when authenticating users, ignoring the domain part of the username provided by the client. This is particularly useful for sites converting from "security = server" to "security = domain" who don't want to go around their clients adding domain parts to all the usernames with which they map shares. Hope this is of use to someone else, Jon.
