It is a bit of an oddball arrangement. We are a scientific research
lab within a hospital environment. Most people use Linux or Mac - and
those who do use Windows connect to the hospital domain. We don't
have any control over that domain at all - I support the researchers
and am independent from central IT. When the Windows users connect to
the 5.3 box via SMB they use a local username and password on the 5.3
box, not their central domain credentials.
Hmmm, I probably know what the answer will be, but I could always ask
the hospital to let me connect it to the domain. Though that could
present security risks that I don't want to deal with.
