[Samba] Samba as BDC in NT domain

[Chris McKeever]

I am trying to work out a work around for this...I have used PWDUMP to
extract the NT SAM into a smbpasswd file.

Theoretically..one could write a script that would then parse that file and
run useradd -u RID to create the local accounts....I have done it manually
and it works very well (there is some issue with the groups, but I guess
that is a secondary battle)

what I would like to do is just circumvemt the need for the local users and
pull the password from the smbpasswd...but as I write this I think the
reason samba needs a local account for local authentication is the groups..

I have only read that Samba is able to act as a BDC for another Samba PDC   
system. It is unable to act as a BDC for a Windows PDC due to the   
secreted method that Microsoft uses to transfer the SAM data to other   
Domain Controllers.

I have this problem: there is a subnet 192.168.6.0/24 and the gateway is
192.168.6.1 which has also another nic 172.21.13.123 which belongs to
subnet 172.21.13.0  where the PDC of NT-domain is. GW does NAT and it
causes that computers/users in subnet 192.168.6.0 cant logon to   
NT-domain.
Is it possible to put Samba in GW machine so that it can be a backup   
domain
controller in NT-domain and it uses username:passwd combinations from PDC
and login becames possible?
If so, how can it be done?
