looks like to many choices and i am sure some are time wasters.
for those of you that have done it, what is your recommendation on the
absolute easiest / fastest implementation to get a centos file (space)
server to auth from a windows domain controller?
Others have already told you what software to use and hinted at how to
do it...I have a question. Are you going to have more than one centos
based file servers? If you are, you may want to also use ldap as the
backend rid store for winbind to keep the uid mappings consistent across
all centos boxes.
Just my two cents (again) : you don't need a ldap based backed to have a
consistent uid mappings accross all samba servers : just use the
idmap_rid function in smb.conf to be sure that uid mappings are not
served on a 'first use, first served' but by using the rid part of the
windows SID an all samba servers .
