Displaying Multiple Samba Domains?

[Chen Shiyuan]

Hi!

I see... I'm not very familiar with MS networking but I thought trust 
relationships is used so that you can share the users across domain? 
Like domain A allowing certain users from domain B to access certain 
resources on domain A and vice versa?

What I'm trying to do is basically give the machine running either NT or 
W2K to be able to logon/authenticate to either domain A or B depending 
on which domain the user chooses. I don't need to share user information 
across domains.

Do I need trust relationships to do that?

Thanks for your information!
