    Here are two options: 1) Configure a samba domain to use a ldap
    backend for authentication. The Linux clients will use the ldap
    server via pam and the Windows clients will use the samba domain which
    will validate against the ldap backend. 2) Build a custom gina.dll
    that will validate against your ldap directly and then copy it to all
    your Windows clients and setup all your Windows clients to use the new
    custom gina.dll instead of the msgina.dll. Requires a reg hack.

    I don't recommend the last option, I just offer it as another option.
    The last time I tried it I had about a 50/50 success failure rate on
    the Windows boxes. Some would authenticate against my ldap server and
    others would bsod. I prefer the first option as nothing special needs
    to be done to the Windows clients other than add them to the samba
    domain.
