Great! I notice two options:
with_pam and with_ldap
Are either of those needed in order for Windows XP clients to log on to
the Samba member server? Or does Samba implement the needed "hooks" to
handle user authentication against the Windows 2003 AD domain? Which I
assume to be LDAP/Kerberos?
Or does one need to enable LDAP and PAM so that PAM can push the
authentication to Kerberos on the AD DCs, and the user/group lookup to
the AD DCs?
No, you don't need those modules to have Windows XP clients attach to
your Samba server. You just have to join the Domain and start winbindd.
The authentication of local users on that Samba box against a Windows AD
is another issue which I have not used yet.
