samba - Jan 2003 - SAMBA ===== I have problem.

Hi,

I need that you help me.
My principal question is:

I have a WinNT Domain, a Samba Server and some users WinNT.

I need to available a directory structure in the Samba Server.

I need to know if I really need to have a Unix user for each WinNT user that
access the structure directory in the Samba Server?

Please help me, because I don't find anywhere this information.

Thanks...  :)

Look in the docs for winbind.  Winbind allows you to have windows domain
users on the unix system without creating "real" unix accounts.  In
addition to the windows domain users being able to access files that are
globally readable on the unix system, you can set user/group ownership
of the files to the windows domain users and restrict permissions
appropriately.
