[Samba] Winbind

[suzanne.davies at btinternet.com]

I've seen several posts now relating to winbind and NT domain authentication.  Has anyone managed to get this working or are there just a group of us trying to do the impossible? I've seen the posts ignored or the person advised to use security = anything other that domain and create the user accounts.  I have more than 2000 users here, I'm not about to create another 2000  user accounts just to use a samba server. Could people please let me know is anyone else sucessfully using winbind and if not, why not?  If there is anyone out there who has cracked this could you please pint the rest of us in the right direction.
