Are you saying that you aren't being allowed to let the SLES10 system become a member of the AD domain? Is there some reason for this? Someone else mentioned SWAT. I tend to not like that approach as it gives non-privileged people too much information about the server. I just checked, and there is a Windows program from the creator of PuTTY that might help. It's called plink.exe, and it allows command-line access to the PuTTY SSH backend. You could put plink on a shared drive and write a script to invoke it after getting the user's Linux userid and password, then invoking smbpasswd via plink. It seems plink also supports key pairs in place of passwords.
