setup samba as Windows Domain Member
 

Hi.
I know how to setup linux (using samba) as member of a Windows Domain Controller. To do that I need to setup Linux user for every Windows domain user. Is that anyway that I can avoid doing that? How can I avoid creating Linux account and just using Windows account on Linux share?
Thank you.

To my knowledge thats not possible.

not possible, but since you can make it as domain controler you can add users from windoze

In fact, it's possible. I just found a way to do it this morning after two days of struggling. I'm using samba + pam_smb + winbind. I set the permission (allow my domain user to view) on the share using samba. I use swat as well as /var/log/messages to observe the user login name. I also check passwd and group to make sure there is no matching linux user name. It works.

great stuff, way to go
sorry to misslead you
