[Samba] joining an NT PDC, WinNT user privileges

[Chris McKeever]

I just finished doing this myself (and now am trying to set it up at work).
Joining the computer to the domain smbpasswd -j (from the winbind man) justs
creates a computer account for the samba share..from my understanding, that
has nothing to do with the actual samba shares that will be implemented..so
you just need to use the smbpasswd -j command with a user account that has
enough priviledge to add a computer to the domain.

The priviledges for files are created in the smb.conf file where you dictate
read/write priviledges based on the NT account information

My hardest part was configuring the pam modules to allow samba access
without needing to setup local linux and samba accounts...100% off the
domain user table

Hi,
	I've been looking for this information, but I couldn't find it
anywhere.
	I have a samba (2.2.3) on debian (woody) and I mean to configure
this
server with winbind so it can authenticate domain users. The PDC is at a
NT server.
	My question is is very simple ... what are the *exact* privileges I
need to give the user I use to join the domain? Winbind docs says use
'Administrator'. Since this Win PDC tries to be as secure as possible,
using the PDC admin user for this samba server is something I'm not
allowed to do.

thanks,

daniel///
