I didn't think that my original question will became a Troll ;-) Thank you all for your advices. Thanks to Steve Christensen for all the packages I have downloaded from "sunfreeware" for a longtime. I will do my best to create myself, probably with your help, a package with ADS/LDAP options.

I don't really know how to respond to that in some sort of civil way except to point you to a discussion on the term: LDAP is based on the standards contained within the X.500 <http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/L/X_500.html> standard, but is significantly simpler. And unlike X.500, LDAP supports TCP/IP <http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/L/TCP_IP.html>, which is necessary for any type of Internet <http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/L/Internet.html> access. Because it's a simpler version of X.500, LDAP is sometimes called /X.500-lite. /I also drive a light-truck (that's a pickup, I hate calling it a truck... anyway), to drive it I have to put gas in it. Gas is a complex mixture. That's about the same analogy you're trying to make. >On Thu, 3 Mar 2005, Paul Gienger wrote: > > > >>Date: Thu, 03 Mar 2005 09:27:38 -0600 >>From: Paul Gienger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>To: William Enestvedt <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >>Cc: samba@lists.samba.org >>Subject: Re: [Samba] Can't see my Samba server into the A.D.
