[Samba] does SECURITY=ADS fall back to the smbpasswd file?

Hi Jerry.

Thanks for your response.

So in that case, is there any way at all I can authenticate
both sets of users I have with the same Samba host?

i.e. The users who have NT accounts, and the users who don't (smbpasswd auth)

Thanks,

Tim.
