Greetings from Maryland :-),
What is your windowmaker using for authentication? Is it using PAM? If so, there
should be a pam control file in /etc/pam.d. That is where i would start first.
Are you using xdm, gdm or kde? I may not be correct (and I am sure someone will
correct my in-correctedness), but I believe that the auth is normally performed
by the display manager. What distribution are you using?
Okay, there was a way to circumvent the "Domain+user" thing. It
involved using a different PAM module and running a daemon process. I used it
before my company upgrade to win2k, and after we upgraded, I could not get it to
work anymore (probably because our Active Directory mode was not mixed mode). I
think the module superceded the pam_ntdom module or it may have been that module
itself. It's been a while so forgive me. But if you are interested in going
that route, you can do some searching on the Linux PAM home page under the
modules link.
Lastly, /etc/pam.d contains control files for different services. Normally, they
are named after the service name. So if you want to say allow users your win2k
users to login to your box at a terminal, you will more than likely have to
tweak the login control file.
I sincerely hope that this helps..
Best Regards,
