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 > compile. > > So now I was working on a public anonymous share but that doesn=92t =20= > work cus FreeBSD says that account is not permitted access from =20 > that station. > > So I know give up, give me a proper linux server or light security =20 > abit so it dosent care who logs on from where > > > See bloody BSD, lol 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 Ashley=
