samba - Feb 2004 - samba 3 and ADS

Hi list.

I'm trying to set up samba 3 on Solaris 8, AIX 4.3 and 5, HP-UX11.0 and 
11i to authenticate mount requests from Win2k clients against their 
Active Directory credentials.

In other words, users sitting at a win2k workstation want to be able to 
log on once, to the domain using their AD credentials and be able to 
mount the unix servers without having to re-authenticate.

Is this poossible?

Of courese, thats the whole point of having a samba box part of a win2k
domain.  Heck if you wanted you could also replace your pdc with with a
samba pdc.  Check out the samba 3 howto, they have good instructions on
doing this.
You just have to make sure that what ever OS you use has support for NSS, or
you'll also have to create the accounts localy before they can use it. I
know that AIX supports this for sure. as well as Solaris,  I'm not positive
about HP-UX though.
