Oh, ok, then you're situation isn't so bad. It certainly can do
authentication. I was guessing that you're in the same boat I am where you
have a hybrid environment which includes NT domains and you want them all to
work together. If all you want is user authentication, samba can do that just
fine. It can use your /etc/passwd or you can set up separate accounts. If you
want help you can send me email and I'll help you get it going. I've been
using Samba for years.
