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.
