Hi Folks,

Anyone successfully setup authentication to an NT Domain from UNIX?

What I want to do is leverage the corporate domain for an application
that needs to authenticate it's users for permission and logging purposes.
The issue is that everyone in the org will have readonly access by default
and only a very few will have write/admin access. As we already have
everyone on NT in a single domain I want to avoid setting up an
additional security repository other than for the extra permissions.

Note that the authentication is from the server back to NT. I want to
avoid requiring software be installed on the client machines.

I know that there is a pam module in Samba that talks to NT but it
requires a unix login and simply leverages the NT password repository.

Any assistance would be much appreciated.

cheers
Nick
