Pulling user rights from samba to Windows NT servers.

[Marc Harding]

I have run into a fairly major problem here at work.  We are running Samba 
2.0.7 in our live environment, and it has been very stable.  Our 
development shop has just written a web based application which uses NT 
users to authenticate.  It is on a NT4.0 (currently, but they want to put 
it on Win2k) with IIS and SQL 2000.  They are trying to pull off of the 
Samba box a list of users who should have access to the application.  This 
has worked for them using an NT4.0 PDC, and now they are asking me for this 
functionality from our Samba 2.0.7 server (or 2.2 which I am currently 
testing from cvs).

 From the NT4.0 box they can pull down the users, but when they go back to 
the permissions, it then says unknown user for all the users they had 
previously granted permissions.  This is causing permission denied messages 
on the application.

Has anyone had to deal with such a situation?  any ideas or solutions?

Thanks,

Marc Harding
