samba - Feb 2003 - eliminating password authentication??

i have added a linux system (acting as a client) in my windows network.

but i have to maintain a list of users&passwords using smbpasswd.

and if i am accessing a share on the windows terminal i have to specify its
password. the vice-versa is also true.

so is it possible to eliminate password authentication.

regards.

If you simply want to connect you're SAMBA server to an existing Domain you
can do this by typing:
smbpasswd -j DOMAIN-NAME -r PRIMARY-DOMIN-SERVER-NAME (RETURN) at the UNIX
prompt.

This will then use the domain login information (ID&Password) to allow
access to the SAMBA server.

IF you simply want to access the samba server with ought having the windows
Login-Box pop up make sure that you log into windows using the same ID and
Password as the one setup in the SMBPASSWD file.
