Hey All: I have an NT domain controller and everything is working great. I have lots of samba boxes. Currently we are using the plain old /etc/passwd for authentatication. I want to make the samba boxes a member of the domain so passwords are encrypted and users only have to worry about one password. Problem: Boss does not trust NT domain controllers. Does anyone have an argument I can use to make the samaba boxes a member of the domain? Eric Eric Gurevitz gurevitz@cs.umd.edu PC Support Computer Science University of Maryland 301-405-2749
