Hi list and Moby,

- I promissed to let the list and Moby know when/if I got this working.

I did :-)

I don't use any Kerberos stuff at all.

I setup the Win2003 DNS server to know of itself and the other boxes 
(including the Linux ones) in the network.
I define the Linux boxes as normal, not pre-win2000 boxes in AD.
I tell AD about the (Linux) box in the network as said.
I tell AD about my (Linux) users, I do not specify anything special at all.

Linux:
I use SuSE10.2 with winbind installed.
I tell the Linux box to use the DNS of the windows machine as its first DNS 
choice. I check that I can ping the windows machine using its name - which is 
NOT in /etc/hosts. I.e., it's looked up in the win-DNS.
I use YaST/User Management/advanced. I elect to use SMB verification, and I 
make the Linux box a member of the domain. Meaning in YaST network section, I 
beforehand named the Linux box and declared it to belong to the correct 
domain and all.
Once the machine is a legal member of the AD-domain and is set to use 
SMB-authentication for its users, I reboot. Just this once.

Then when the blue login screen appears, a choice as to domain is given: local 
or "WIN2003". I select the latter. I now use a loginname that exists in the 
AD, but DOES NOT EXIST IN THE LINUX BOX. This causes 
a /home/WIN2003/users-home-dir to be created. All is good and normal.

Summa:
The linux box is now dependent on users to exist in the central AD. As wanted.

To the list and Moby;

- thank you for your help in this matter!
