Hi, I'm just looking for a little clairification, which I wasn't able to quite figure out. I'm wondering if Samba is able to authenticate users against a Windows 2000 Active directory DC? I have found references that it can to NT, so I'm assuming that refers to Windows NT 4.0. Basically, I've got a windows network, and my users logon. I want to use a samba server, but would like for my users to be able to access the samba shares based on their network logon. if this is possible, would you please direct me to a suitable howto? I've been to many of them, but as before, I am unable to make this work regards rob Berezowski _____________________________________________________________________ This message has been checked for all known viruses by the MessageLabs Virus Scanning Service.
