I don't need to log on to the domain, and in the past I haven't and have
been fine. The Samba box is part of the network, and both boxes are on
the same subnet. We have a domain on this college campus because we
wanted people to have to authenticate to use school machines, and then
we put the students (read: wireless) on a separate subnet. My personal
machine is joined to the domain because I'm lazy (read: so I only have
to enter my password once to use network drives, check my e-mail on the
exchange server, etc).
Peace,
