   Forgive me for being dense, but shouldn't I be able to configure a Samba 3.x server (on Solaris 8) to authenticate against an Active Directory server -- if all the users already exists in AD -- _without_ creating them on the Sun box, and without adding the "posix user" field to the AD record?
   Sorry if this is in the docs -- I'm still a little at sea.
