[Sussex] Remote (Samba 3.0.x) Domain Accesss

[paul Morriss]

   To gain access to certain resources on the domain the machine will 
need to be part of the (Samba) domain, allowing people to enter 
usernames and passwords I don't think will allow access.

The setup I am trying to get working is a Linux Samba server connecting 
via a Linux firewall and most of the remote clients are Linux - except 2 
(which I am working on converting :) )
