Hi,
I'm about to launch the same project as you are. Most documents
and info I've seen, gives me the impression of this beeing possible.
Although, the documentation is rather complex and the one thing I'm
not able to find out right now is wether I can make my BSD boxes
part of the Win2000-domain realm, of if I need to set up a separate
UNIX realm with cross-authentication to the Win2000-domain realm.
Have you gotten any success in your work?
