This is a very tiny subset (mostly) of a corporate network where the
larger things are handled by active directory. But, for various
non-technical reasons I don't want these machines to have to 'join'
AD. Kerberos will sort-of work without joining, but doesn't seem
usable for exporting samba shares - and then anyone added locally
wouldn't work without the uid matching anyway. Is there a way to set
up an LDAP server with a few local users but that mostly does a proxy
to AD? And if I did, would users be able to map their home
directories as samba shares with the authentication it provides
without joining AD?
