While you're using it (although we're still on NT4.0 at work) we use the
NT Servers as the password servers in smb.conf.  How is the mail server
getting passwords?  From NIS?

Our mail server is an NIS client, and the user's MS mail clients use the
AIX password.  


We kept meaning to look into LDAP, but there were always fires to put
out, then the most technically adept of the bosses was let go.

The question is, where do the web server and mail servers get their
passwords, and what are they running?

We had thought that LDAP would be the way we would go in the end. 

If you set it up, try to write a nice howto.
