Wait a minute.
I thought I read somewhere that with Samba 3, in order to have it authenticate a share as a member of an ADS domain one didn't need to setup any accounts on the Linux/Samba server box?
I just read in another how-to that NSS is responsible for identity management and PAM is responsible for authentication of login credential. If those are both true and can be set to winbind, why do I need to consider NIS or installing Unix Services for Windows?

Hi, That looks fine as far as user name resolution is concerned. But this will require you to maintan two sets of user database as well as the mappings. I'm currently using mapping NT users to NIS groups to make it easier, so in the /etc/nsswitch.conf file I'm using nis instead of winbind, because winbind actually results in file and dir being created with NT userid and group ids like this Domain+User. Eventually I will want to use the AD ldap infrastructure, even if it means that I have to install Unix Services for Windows on the DCs. (Recommended) Please correct me if I'm wrong on this if anyone think I misunderstood the setup.
