Yes, I wanted to keep the same authentication mechanism for some 
dual boot (linux+samba+W2K) workstations and a Zope application,

I think I'll enter nightmare mode real soon now :-(

information on all this is very sparse, unfortunately.

if I ever manage to get all this working then I'll make an howto,
