Machines in domain S and users in domain U

[Billinghurst, David (RTD)]

Our multi-site NT network is set up with
*	all users in a corporate domain U
*	all NT workstations/servers in site based resource domains S
*	each resource domain S trusts the corporate domain U

At present I am using samba-1.9.18p10 with
*	security = server, and 
*	workgroup = S
*	password server = "PDC and BDC for domain U"

This works well.  

I would like to move domain based security for our samba servers.
The NT administrator wants the samba servers to go into the resource domain
S
(and will not allow them into the corporate domain U).

As all the users are in the domain U I was wondering:
*	Will this work?
*	Is it a good idea to move to domain based security yet?
(Yes.  I have read DOMAIN_MEMBER.txt)
