We want folders in /var/share available to users in Active Directory, eg /var/share/ashleymoran for just me, and maybe a shared one for the office or the design team etc. Nothing complicated really. Our network admin said winbindd is broken on FreeBSD so he tried compiling the Solaris version(!) but couldn't make that work. Unfortunately he's beeyessdeephobic, but I want to avoid looking into it myself because, well, it's not my job :) If I have no choice, do you think it will take long to learn how to set it up? I don't want to lose a whole day to it. Ashley
