samba server... NT domain authentication??

I'm having a problem with letting NT domain users automatically access a samba server... without entering a password. If I set up their individual user accounts on the samba box, they can connect no prob... but then cant edit other users files (I know, bad mojo, but that's what was asked of me for this machine).
The users need to connect to a mapped drive, hyperlink, read, and write from files in the shared directory without being prompted for a password.
We have an NT password server, but specifying it in the smb.conf seems to have no effect.
I'd do more research before posting, but it's got to be finished today... any help is appreciated.

The entire book online...you have to like that, though I'll probably go buy it anyway.

1) You did smbpasswd -a username for everyone?

2) You can admin users = user1 user2 to each share to give "root" access to them.

thanks for the link

I ended up setting the security to share and just made it work. It's an internal machine with non-sensitive data... I'll have to become more educated before making full production Samba servers.
