Am currently migrating from a samba/nis authentication scheme to authentication thru Active Directory. I currently have everything set up and "ready to go" with one minor caveat.

new users are set up correctly, with authentication through AD and have a unix drive mapped to their W2k work stations.

however, pre-existing student accounts are not synchronized. There is no way to tell at this point whether jsmith1 on the samba box matches jsmith on the AD.

Shortly, I will have the data I need from the registrar to match our user list against theirs, but I'm not sure how to get samba to "read" this information. Where can I go about in (samba?) setting up a configuration that will read a mapping of samba/unix uid to the windows AD/uid.

Does this make *any* sense?

All I want at this point is to RTFM, so if someone can point me to a FAQ about incorporating prior users into a new AD/Samba authentication/drive mapping scheme, that would be great.

thank you,
Lisa
