samba - May 2004 - Win2k AD with LDAP unix auth

Hi,

I'd like to know if this is actually possible, a simple yes or no would
suffice, but any pointers would be more helpful...

I'd like to have windows users within the AD be able to access a linux
server share (having been authenticated by AD), and read / write / execute files
within that share according to unix permissions (obtained by an Open LDAP server
running on another Linux server)

Firstly, is that possible?

Secondly, is this scenario / method unusual?

Thanks

Luke.

Yes.

No.  It's basically a Samba member server that is
not running winbindd.  Just use nss_ldap instead.
