I have a windows 2000 active-directory native-mode domain.

I am trying to have the samba server authenticate users through their Windows accts. I.E. I have a user on windows. I don't want to have to duplicate logon information into linux.

I have my Samba server up and running to the point that if I make a user in the linux machine that I already have in the windows domain, the client windows machine doesn't ask for a logon.

I.E.
Windows User Acct w/o a linux acct = ask for login
Windows User Acct w/ linux user acct = no request for login

my winbind can see the users in wbinfo and getent. But I am not able to map permissions with the windows users, and the client machines ask for a password.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I will post my smb.conf in a few mins

Thank you
Garullon
