When I have a Windows NT Domain controller on the network...

My smb.conf has...

security = domain
password server = FRED #netbios name of NT Domain controller
wins support = no
domain logons = no
workgroup = WORKGROUP #whatever the name of the domain is
netbios name = BARNEY
OS level = 20
domain master = no
preferred master = no
encrypted passwords = yes


You MUST have an account for "BARNEY" (the netbios name of your Samba
computer) whatever it is. I would suggest that you make it a 'trusted
machine' account instead of a user account. This setup would allow two way
access with the samba server and its shares and use the NT domain controller
to approve / disapprove.

Note - this works well as long as the NT Domain controller is on the same
subnet. If not...you'll have to play with the routing.

Too much of a fight to get it to work (requires editing your registry)
without password encryption.
