Samba server trusting two domains. Can it be done?

Hey all,

I currently have two domains, domain1.com and doamin2.net. Each domain has its own Windows 2003 Domain controller, (DC1 & DC2), and there is a two-way trust between the domains. It shouldn't matter but...one of these domains has had Windows services for UNIX 3.5 installed and the other is running Windows 2003-R2 (The AD administrator tells me WSU is installed natively).

I have created a CentOS 5.0 Samba server (ver 3.0.23) and am using Kerberos/LDAP authentication for access and joined the Samba server to DC1. (Users and groups for Domain1.com can be seen by the Samba server.) Windbind is neither configured nor being used currently.

Now, what I would like to do is allow Samba to recognize the trust between the tow domain controllers so users from either domain can access the Samba shares. (ACLs are active on the Samba shares already. We would like to have the ability to allow domain based permissioning on files created.)

Has anyone been able to get this to work?

Thanks,

Dan
