If you have your w2k active directory server running in compatibility or mixed (or whatever MS is now calling it) you can authenticate against that from Samba 2.2.3a. Don't ask me how to set that up, I am a lowly programmer now, but if there are any NT4 systems on your network and they work, you probably have it setup properly already.

I have the same problem. It is because of Active Directory in Win2K network is supposed to be supported in Samba 3.0 according to their website. Samba-TNG however, supposedly has this working. Will be trying that in the new few days.

Hi All,
We have a mixed Win2K and Linux environment, and we run Samba 2.2.3a on SuSE 8.0 Linux. Assume you have users who have to access a share on Samba of say /foo/bar, and the users are part of group 'somegrp' (they have permissions to modify stuff in /foo/bar, btw).
Now, assume said users exist on Win2K AD, is there any way to get Samba to authenticate against Win2K when they go for access to the the share, rather than have to change passwords on both Samba and Win2k so that they match?
