I was wondering if there is a way Samba can use either the Windows domain or Unix usernames and passwords rather than having to have add another password. We are running HPUX 11 samba 2.0.6 and whenever we have to add a new user (once or twice a month) we have to add them to the Windows domain, the Unix passwd file and then set them up in Samba for a password. is there a simpler way?

Using LDAP as the single point of authentication is easier. You can then have their Unix and Windows accounts both use the same LDAP database for information. Samba 2.0.6 is pretty old though, so I don?t know about its LDAP support. We run 2.2.x.

Hi Bryan, Look in SWAT help at "add user script" under globals-->advanced. Also, if you are using CIFS/9000 Server on HP-UX 11 and are a member of W2000 AD, we can talk about using "Unified Login" to define UNIX users and Windows users in the same user object, and authenticate UNIX logins against the AD.
