I've done similar things however it was in a larger samba context so I used winbind and nss which works very well although it does result in local accounts of a sort - calls to the nss libraries (getpw*) will see the users as local even though they are Windows users in a Domain. > I have one machine > where everyone does have an account and authentication works using > the password from the NT domain controller.

If you set account to use the pam_permit module it will be happy.
