[Samba] Help, problem with new passwords

[Michael G. Noble]

If the users do not need UNIX/Linux access then you can have samba do 
domain authorization.  This way the user passwords are received from
the NT PDC/BDC.  All you need to do is have a dummy account for each
user in the password file so that they would have a UID and GID and be 
able to be added to groups.  The passwd entry field would be disabled,
the home would be /dev/null and the shell would be /bin/false.
I have done this a other companies for users who only needed PC 
access to the shares and it worked great.
