This option is used to add a Samba server - into a Windows NT Domain, as a Domain member capable of authenticating - user accounts to any Domain Controller in the same way as a Windows - NT Server. See the security = domain option in - the smb.conf(5) man page.

In order to be used in this way, the Administrator for - the Windows NT Domain must have used the program "Server Manager - for Domains" to add the primary NetBIOS name of the Samba server - as a member of the Domain.

After this has been done, to join the Domain invoke smbpasswd with this parameter. smbpasswd will then - look up the Primary Domain Controller for the Domain (found in - the smb.conf file in the parameter - password server and change the machine account - password used to create the secure Domain communication. This - password is then stored by smbpasswd in a TDB, writeable only by root, - called secrets.tdb

Once this operation has been performed the smb.conf file may be updated to set the security = domain option and all future logins - to the Samba server will be authenticated to the Windows NT - PDC.

Note that even though the authentication is being - done to the PDC all users accessing the Samba server must still - have a valid UNIX account on that machine.

This option is only available when running smbpasswd as root. -
