[Samba] Synching samba passwords to W2k passwords
This is a quick question.....Is there any way to allow W2K users access to a share on a linux machine without having to have synched passwords between samba and W2k...(maybe just leave the password field for samba blank?). A while back we had Novell servers and were constantly worrying about password synchs, is this going to be the case with RedHat as well?
