[Samba] tdbsam info

[Tim Gessner]

As I understood it he should be authenticating the logon using the
windows server (active directory) and not storing users and passwords
locally (on the linux box).  I didn't recognize the tdbsam entry in the
config file though.

If what I have said is true, do I still need to enable the account?  If
so, how?

Thanx!

As a new user, did you enable his account? My usual advice is to use 
SWAT for this.  :)
