I would like samba to pull a useraccounts from Active Directory to authenticate users for access to fileshares.. Does anyone have easy instructions on using PAM to set this up?
I'm in the middle of doing something like this now at $WORK. The gist of it is that Active Directory does not have the right schema to handle *NIX users, and must be extended. For <$100 MSRP you can get MS Services For UNIX (SFU). This will, among other things, extend you schema and give you MMC snap-ins to manage *NIX user attributes on the same objects as Windows users. That's step one.
Supposedly Windows 2003 server's AD supports the INetOrgPerson schema.
