I am setting up an NT PDC along with two Samba file servers . I am interested in using the "security = domain" feature in smb.conf so that the PDC will communicate the username and group memberships back to the servers. Now, i have two questions that i was hoping someone may be able to help me out on. First, is, is this worth it? The reason I want to use "security = domain" is so that i can use the "add user script = " and the "del user script = " features to make it possible to dynamically add and delete users from the Samba servers, and also be able to get their group memberships. Is this possible? Is there an easier way?
Now, my next question, assuming the above is possible, is stated here:
Is it possible to have each computer i want to have access from added to the domain, and then to NOT have too actually log into the domain from the workstation, rather log into just the computer and still be able to access the file servers with a valid username and password? If so, how do i do this? Once again, is there an easier way?
