samba - Jun 2002 - Samba server authenticating to NDS with win 2000 clients?

Is this possible?  I searched the archives and did some digging and it
seemed like the closest I was going to get was to use pam modules.  But,
from what I read, that won't work with 2000 or XP because of password
encryption.  

I'd like for my users to be able to map drives to my linux box running
samba using their NDS username/passwords, yet I don't want to re-create
all of those usernames/passwords in my smbpasswd file.

Thanks,

Shane

Hello,

I don't know exactly if it works, but it's possible to access NDS 
through LDAP. So you can avoid using pam_modules.
But I don't know which steps are required to extend the NDS schema, to 
access through LDAP and which extensions need to be applied for use with 
samba.
