[Samba] Samba Authentication against NT domain

[Aldo Damian Ambriz Martinez -- Unix SysAdmin]

Try something like this...

[global]
workgroup = yourdomain
security = domain
encrypt passwords = yes
password server = pdc bdc

------

# smbpasswd -j yourdomain -Uadministrator%password

# useradd machine% --> with the dollar sign
# smbpasswd -a -m machine

machine = your server. 

bye
