Is it possible to use the Windows security on a Samba share which resides on a Unix server which is a MEMBER of a W2K domain ?? I am unable to make the unix server a PDC due to restrictions in the company. I have 27 users with different accesses to the same directories/files and I am trying to avoid a monster smb.conf file. I am running 2.2.5 on an HPUX 11 w/o winbind (users have unix access, but /bin/false for application reasons. Samba was configured with winbind but have it turned off. Some day they will allow pam.auth :-). I was wondering if I could just open the properties on the share from W2K and click the little boxes. Thank you for your time.

Simply configure samba as a client and join it to the Windows domain. Samba acts just like a Win NT 4.0 machine on a Win2k network. Have a read of this: http://us4.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.html After reading this doc, you'll be better prepared to ask specific questions. Good luck. -- Greg J. Zartman, P.E.
