I can't seem to get an answer to this question...

Should I use winbind if my Domain Controller is a samba machine? Or is it only useful if my DC is a real MS DC and I have other unix/linux client machines?

I'm strictly wanting to provide file and domain logon services to Win2000 machines via a samba DC. There are no other DC's involved. After reading the 3.0 HowTo on winbind all I see are references to winbind helping linux/unix resolve usernames from a Windows DC. If I'm using a linux/samba box as the DC I don't need this for my win2000 users, in a domain on the Samba DC, to gain access to shares, right? Would winbind help me in any other way in trying to use ACL's?

Regards
