[Samba] ADS membership with Samba 3.0.4

[sandeep.sundaram at wipro.com]

Hi,

We are in the process of evaluating the possibility of porting Samba
3.0.4 to VxWorks.

Features wise we don't see any problems. But our main concern is on the
security. Since we do not have the concept of Users and Groups on
VxWorks, we cannot have any authentications as such.

So, the other possibility is to pass on the authentication to another
Server on the network, typically a AD server (since Samba is required to
be a part of a domain)

All the documents that we have seen so far, regarding the ADS
membership, talk about winbind and NSS.

My question here is,

1. Do I really need winbind or NSS since I am not maintaining any Users
or Groups locally ?!

2. Is it sufficient if I get the Kerberos and sasl support to work on
VxWorks ?!

Regards,
Sandeep Sundaram
