Yes, you do have to create a machine account for the Samba server in the Windows domain in order for security = domain to work. However, Active Directory domain controllers will talk to the Samba server. You may have to have your domain admins check a box that says something like Allow pre-Windows 2000 authentication when they create the machine account.

You certainly could. BTW, I forgot to mention that you could also use Samba 2.2.8a in your environment if you couldn't find a binary for Samba 3. Samba 2.x can work in an ADS environment -- we're using 2.2.8a with a Native Active Directory environment.

However, the material is applicable even if you aren't using ClearCase. You can find it at http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/5769.html If you follow the link at the right hand side that says "Related Presentation Files" http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/content/04August/3033/3033_SCM04.zip you can download the presentation and related templates and the web site that I developed and that the presentation is based on. Again, much of the material is applicable even if you aren't using ClearCase. You can browse the web files through the filesystem -- you don't need a web server. Any browser will work. -- Eric M.
