[Samba] Samba and Linux Passwords Backend

[Lonnie Cumberland]

Hello All,

I am sure that this has been asked probably a million times on this 
list, but for our particular setup, I need to see if there is a way to 
have Samba authenticate its users based upon the Linux accounts password 
file? 

The reason is that we have other applications all working together and 
most of them are also using the Linux password file which make the 
process of maintaining users much easier and from a central point.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Lonnie
