Here at work we have a linux file server running samba. It is currently configured to be authenticated against our windows domain users. This works fine but we've got another seperate domain on our network. The users on this second windows domain are unable to access this samba share. So my question is, is it possible to configure samba to authenticate users on 2 domains. If so can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks
 
Thanks for the replies. I don't think I can use the active directory trust to do this as it's an external trust and from what I see it doesn't let you do this.

I've set up a couple of samba servers using kerberos authentication so I'll try doing it that way.
 
I've been doing some more work on this and have got winbind working. If I do a wbinfo -u it lists all the computers and users in both domains. All the users/computers that are on the other domain from the samba machine are listed as DOMAIN+user, everything on the same domain as the samba machine just has the computer/user name.

I can also run getent passwd and that lists all users on both domains.

However when I try to access the samba share from a user account on the second domain it says that the username/password is incorrect.

Does anybody have any ideas?

EDIT:

I managed to sort it, changing a pam setting in smb.conf fixed it :)
