That's not quite true - if a machine does not have an account in the
domain, that computer cannot join the domain. Users, on the other hand can
access files on the server. This is the way M$ implemented it, and there's
no way around it. You are getting exactly the same behavior as if you had
a Windows-based Domain server.

Don't know about that one, maybe one of the team can comment.

I am not a member of the samba team,
and anything that I say may not be as
accurate as a response from one of the
team. I reply to save those more
qualified time, which can more usefully
be spent developing SAMBA further.
