no - samba requires both a samba and a unix account

Craig,
I (used to) understand that samba _has_ to have a _Unix_account_ on the
machine to map the samba user too, but does samba now require an explicit
samba account as well as a system user? i.e., if I have a Unix account
'sucker' and if that is my MS user name too, then samba should just map
through to the Unix account and password right?
