not quite what i am trying to do. MS AD network/server Linux Desktop Wish to use AD user credentials to access local machine. this halfway works. I would like to be able to give a specific MS user elevated permissions to the local Ubuntu Machine. granting access to a directory is something i have done before. and accessing a domain I have done before also. this is right in the middle it seems.
