I am interested in setting up Samba file services for our location and I am looking to find a "Best Practices" approach and configuration for use with an Active Directory controller. I have had some luck in setup Samba with local accounts, but Linux will be used increasingly in the months to come and I would like to build a file server that will validate file system access against AD domain groups. I am familiar with Samba, but not so familiar with Kerberos and winbind. I have read through some Samba documentation and found some valuable information, but I feel like I am missing a few pieces to my puzzle. What is the process for setting up this service? Are there some sample configs out there? Thanks Kelly

I've also had success with this: http://www.wlug.org.nz/ActiveDirectorySamba Regards, Dimitri
