plz help me config Samba

[needee]

Dear All
I have to configure the samba server, as a file server for windows xp client computers, in a MS Active Directory based network.
All the users have account in Active Directory(the dc is Windows 2003 server).
Now plz help me how to config the samba, so that when a network user(AD user), access the files/folders on the file server(samba), file server authenticates the user frm Active Directory.

Plz help
Regards
Needee

This link addresses Active Directory/Linux/Samba in some detail. I have not done it so can only point you to the link. You might want to post in the Server section of this forum since there is often excellent help there for Server setups.

Thanks all for help... I am really very sory for replying so late.

The solution I used to configure/implement the desired scenario, is that, I simply configure the samba serve machine, a windows domain member... now every request to the shares on samba server, is automatically/transparently authenticated via Domain Controller.

Thanks for help
