It's broken during installation (AFAICT), but try: # drakauth You will see we have winbind support (aka as close to Windows-style domain membership as is possible without samba3 in main). Next releae we should have AD support (if all goes well). BTW, have you looked at publishing printers in AD? It should be possible with samba3. And, by default, samba should share out all printers, and any member of the adm group should be able to upload print drivers for point-n-print drivers support. I also packaged the cups native windows drivers and informed the right people (allowing you full use of the ppd files installed for CUPS), but I don't know if it will be on the commercial disks. In short, there isn't much we haven't done, and I hope we can get a comprehensive libconf-based tool for configuring the rest for the next release (swat-clone isn't too bad, but we need to simplify the ui by abstracting it more from the config file).
