Another possibility that I've been using is to tell Samba to use the NT
server for password authentication.
I've been trying to get the syntax right for equating a given NT user to a
given Linux user so that permissions can be set appropriately. That way,
even if the NT usernames don't directly match the Linux usernames,
a seperate set of samba passwords is unnescesary. The NT users will
just use their own passwords to log in and be given the permissions of
whatever Linux user their username is mapped to (the guest account by
default).
Am I right in thinking that this is possible? I've found the smb.conf
entry that lets you specify a list of ntuser->linuxuser mappings but don't
see one that lets you make such specifications within smb.conf.
Anyway, I'm just toying with it in my free time at the moment. Like I
said, it might be a usefull alternative to maintaining a seperate
smbpasswd file.
