[Samba] Samba and Windows 2000 Password Authentication
Is there a way to configure Samba so that all password authentication is done through the Windows domain controllers? As I understand it, the variable "encrypt passwords" must be set to yes if "security" is set to "domain". This causes Samba to reference the smbpasswd file, so if the W2K user's password on the domain controller is not the same as that in the smbpasswd file, Samba will prompt the user for the password in smbpasswd. I have tried various options, like setting "security" equal to the server, and "password server" equal to domain controller, but it all works the same: the user has to enter the smbpasswd password to get authenticated. If this is not possible, is there a way to sync up the passwords between the domain controllers and the smbpasswd file? David Neilson Western Family Foods, Inc. System Administrator 503 639 6300 x370

This is covered pretty exhaustively in the documentation. If you wish your unix authentication to be done via Samba also, look at winbind and the documentation for that.
