Sorry about the fogginess. Currently the Linux server uses a Windows domain controller for authentication. We now want authentication to be handled by the Linux server using the Linux server users, groups and passwords. We don't intend the Linux server to be a domain controller. The Windows computer clients would still be authenticated to the network by the Windows domain controller server and be part of the domain. However we want them to have to enter their separate Linux server ID and password when connection to shares on the Linux server.
