I have the same requirement; except samba can't currently do this. See: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2004-October/094981.html I implemented a "trim default domain" option and provided a patch in: http://www.dragoninc.on.ca/mail-archives/samba-technical/2004-10/0342.html (I would suggest the "canonical" mailing list URL http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-October/037813.html except the mailing list archive software there borked the message.) The rest of the thread on samba-technical has more details. Cheers, Luke.
