I believe this is doable.
You need to configure smb.conf with:
security = domain
workgroup = nameofdomain
You will then need to join the samba server to your windows domain. On
the domain controller add a machine account for your samba server.
(been a long time since I did any of that so I don't remember the
details)
On the samba server you need to run:
net rpc join -U Administrator%password
(note: the password above is the domain admins password)
I believe you will still need to create a unix account for each user but
you can set them to /bin/false for the shell. I think these are only
needed so the UIDs can be set on the unix side. The authentication
should be done by the domain controller.
I think that will do it. Hopefully one of the real samba experts will
chime in.
