I agree with Chris, I have always found, from way back, that NT works best (!!!) if Samba takes charge. A small bug, which I don't think is fixed yet, requires that, if you are authenticating Win2k/XP machines into a domain, the user "with authority to add a machine" must be root, so be a little cautious and don't forget to add a root user to smbpasswd!

We've used PAM_auth to check passwords against the NT domain - but we still needed to create the users on the Linux box. Samba works best the other way around (i.e. make NT boxes authnticate against Samba).

Hi,
Is there anyone out there who has rigged Linux box to authenticate off an NT server? We have stumbled around and can work out how to use either Samba or SMB PAM. Neither can we find a decent Howto.
Thanks in advance,
