Hi people

I recently added a pair of extra disks to one of our internal servers =20=

(FreeBSD 6.1) to give us a share for our office.  Our user =20
authentication is all done by Active Directory Small Business Server =20
2000.  I gave the job of getting Samba running an authenticated share =20=

to our Linux-fanboy network admin.  He came back to me claiming the =20
following reason why it can't be done (I assume the second word =20
should be followed by "not"):

> Winbind is fully functional on FreeBSD so it doesn=92t work =20
> authenticating with windows, ive tried compiling the Solaris =20
> version which is supposedly meant to work but I cant get it to =20

I don't know anything about Samba, so I was wondering if someone here =20=

has seen a similar setup working.  Is it really impossible to do what =20=

I want?

Thanks
