Update:
 
Each time we set up a new user on the system, passwords need changing on the AD 
and the samba server. Is there a way to set permissions for the samba from the 
AD so that we do not need to go through this rigmarole? (most problematic at 
the start of a new school year).

My aim is to also have some linux (probably k/ubuntu) boxes that authenticate 
on the network using standard AD credentials. I have tried in vain to find a 
way to introduce a single point of authentication, I have looked at kerberos, 
winbind and LDAP. I consider myself a good network technician, but the 
introduction of linux into a domain has thrown me. Is there a an easy way to 
integrate a linux fileserver with a windows controlled domain with both linux 
and windows clients?
