Questions about samba should really be directed at the samba mailing
list. However...

You need to tell the samba daemon where to find the NT password
authentication server.

You need to specify a password server in /etc/smb.conf something like
this [modify this as appropriate]:
security = server
password server = localntwinserver
networkstation user login = no
unix password sync = no
update encrypted = yes
encrypt passwords = yes
remote announce = 111.222.333.444/WORKGROUP
Here, "localntwinserver" is the netbios name of the NT box that is
acting as the password server for the rest of the NT network, and the
remote IP address is usually that of the same nt wins server.
Then you can have this sort of magic later in the smb.conf file...
[homes]
comment = User Home Directories
browseable = no
read only = no
preserve case = yes
short preserve case = yes
create mode = 0644
What will now happen is that anyone with a local account (even a
"NOLOGIN" account - all that is required is a user entry in /etc
passwd), and when that person attempts to access the samba host from
"netwok neighbourhood", along with all the public shares a home
directory folder will automagically appear for that particular user,
with all the password authentication automatically done by the samba
server and the password server.
It is also easy to make the samba server the WINS password server.
And there exists a PAM module that will allow users to telnet into a
linux box using their NT network password (which is also handy).
We have a web server here running linux/samba, with most users
accessing shares like this. Very nice, works well.
Cheers
Tony
