Depending on the concerns for adding 200 users on the
Linux box:
1) You can have every user authenticate via the NT box
using PAM_SMB, and in /etc/pam.d figure out which
services they can access this way (i.e. yes to IMAP/mail,
no to shell login, etc.)
2) You can make a "/bin/false" as the shell in the passwd
file to prevent any logins, and make the homes /dev/null
if you don't want to take up disk space.
3) If the issue is just time to set up 200 accounts, you have
a file "UserList" with all the user names and do:
for i in `cat UserList`; do
adduser -g somegroup -d /home/$i -p '*' -s /bin/zsh $i
done
(The * password assumes you're using PAM_SMB).
4) If the issue is just how to allow NT users without setting
up any Linux accounts, I'm not sure this can be done.
