With samba though it looks like i will have to add users to both, nt and unix separately? and then have unix check passwords against the nt server (didn't find clear directions how on samba's web site yet :(. So i guess the questions is what are you all using in such cases when you want to have same username/passwords for users on ntserver and unix boxes and don't want to do double work? TIA.
