Ubuntu 8.10 and AD users

[Stephen]

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.

rolling over and going back to sleep after you hit the snooze button.
