questions

1) I don't think Samba can maintain trust relationships with NT domains
(yet).

2) No - you can use PAM_NTDOM (or is it called PAM_SMB these days) to
*authenticate* users from an NT domain, but you'd need the equivalent of
NSS_NTDOM to be able to have the users appear "local".

<Note - you can "kind of" do this - see the "add user script" parameter of
smb.conf>

Luke Leighton mentioned something about nss_ntdom a while back - anyone have
any ideas?

That said, the nss interface is really easy, it shouldn't be too hard to
implement (and would be a *massive* improvement over "add user script" -
ugh)

Cheers,
Phil

ok. im new at this so bear with me.

I have a redhat 6.0 running the 7/21 release of samba 2.0.5.  what i
want to be
able to do with this is this.

I need to be able to run the samba as a NT  PDC.  I need the samba
server to be
able to start and maintain trust relationships with other NT domains.

The other problem im having is with security.  is there a way to get it
to
listen to the PDC of the domain its in with out having to add each and
every
user into the samba box?

Please help
