  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
