ERIC: Thanks for taking pity... :-) This is great news! I knew from the reading I've done that the ADS features code was put into Samba 3; but what I didn't pick up on is that it would work whether the Samba server is on the Windows domain or not. Our Solaris box has two network adapters, one RJ-45 and one fiber, but but we can only use the RJ-45 connection due to the powers-that-be nixing our request to drop a line for the fiber connection -- even though There is a vacant fiber plug-in on the switch. However..., we also have a Linux Box [RedHat 9] in our unit. Couldn't we upgrade the Samba installation on it [...come to think of it, one of our other guys just rebuilt that box a few weeks ago, and I don't know for sure which Samba release is on it now...] and do the testing there? Speaking of that, can you tell me off the top of your head the quickest way to determine which Samba release is currently running on the Linux box?

[Samba] Samba Server [Solaris 8] on Windows 2K/2003 [ADS] network
ALL: Please forgive my ignorance. I am not just naive regarding Samba..., or Solaris..., or UNIX, or Windows Networking..., the naivity courses through my veins abundantly in all IT related matters. :-) Our work unit is the lone UNIX [Samba server 2.2 on Solaris 8] installation on the organizational Windows WAN. None of the analysts in our unit have domain admin rights. The sys manager in our unit [my boss] has steadfastly refused to add our UNIX [Samba] server to the windows domain. Password synchronization has been a thorn in our side from day one. A SSO solution is the ultimate, but from what I'm reading, that isn't possible unless/until our Samba server is added to the domain. QUESTIONS: -Would upgrading to the lastest Samba release help at all on this issue? -I don't see a binary available at the Samba download site for Solaris 8. Our SysMgr could certainly do the upgrade without the binary, but I have not ever done the make/build routine before. -Is it possible to set up a test environment for the new Samba release in another location on the same UNIX box?
