Steve,

No. "security = DOMAIN" means be a MEMBER of a domain.

The Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf chapters 5 and 7 are the key chapters you
need to understand. The URL for hte current version is:

	http://us1.samba.org/samba/devel/docs/Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf

This will be published as a 700 page book with fully worked examples. The
publisher is Prentice Hall and the book will be called "The Official
Samba-3 HOWTO and Reference Guide."

The fully worked examples are not in the HOWTO document referred to above.
