Hi Has anyone successfully integrated SLES 9.1 into Active Directory using Samba 3 , such that the AD users log onto the directory and gain access to resources on the SLES server as if it were just another Windows server. I am a total newbie but with the help of the fantastic Linux community managed to get myself to the point where the SLES box is in AD but if I want AD users to gain access to any of the SLES shares I need to create seperate user accounts on the SLES server. Anyone that can offer some help or even the direction to where the help is will be appreciated Thanks
