greetings

im currently working in a windows 2000 active directory enviroment
trying to setup a samba server.

what i have so far setup is a server that has a machine account (that is
the same as the windows username) and added a smbpasswd entry to match
their active directory password

so when they connect to the samba server they will see their home directory

this so far works till their windows 2000 password expires

what i would like to do is set up in a way that machine accounts dont
have to be created when a user is added to AD
and also have samba connect to the AD server for authentication.

anyone know of a good how to on how to do this?



thank you


viqas
