Overview:
If the existing network uses an NT domain or an Active Directory domain, the user may want to tap into the existing domain controller for Linux authentication. For instance, he or she might want a Linux POP server to use the existing Windows domain accounts. Doing so presents certain challenges, though; the Windows and Linux authentication systems require different types of information, so some information Linux needs isn't available from the domain controller. Fortunately, Samba's Winbind software helps bridge this gap. Winbind links together the domain controller's database and Linux's native authentication system, the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM). Using Winbind requires configuring Samba options for Winbind, as well as for PAM and another helper tool, the Name Service Switch (NSS).
