Thank you for the info but it still did not allow my windows clients to athenticate using thier windows accounts when they connected to the linux server share.

Thank you De2Zotjes,
It took alittle more research on my part in the way of winbind configuration and required modules etc. but your tips got me where I needed to be. I can now authenticate using windows domain credentials without needing to create a local account on the linux server for my windows users. This integrated nicely with MS AD and provided the functionality I was looking for. Thank you again for pointing me in the right direction.
