Doesn't winbind just get users/groups from a PDC (or Samba) for use in Linux.. I need other way round eg. Linux is master, samba is slave
Yes, winbind does do it the other way around. Not sure how you coerce Samba into doing this though, because on my distro (Mandrake) it's set up that way to start with. If it helps, I could send you a sample smb.conf file (although there's a lot of other junk in there as well). One thing you will need to do is force the Windows stations to use plain text passwords. See, for example, all the *_PlainPassword.reg files in the docs/ directory of the Samba documentation (probably in /usr/share/doc/samba-VERSION/docs). HTH, Michael Brown Fen Systems Ltd.
