He has got it working on Linux, we've got a couple of servers I assume are authenticating correctly. I don't know what the problem is.

Is Active Directory integrated file sharing possible on FreeBSD?
Hi people I recently added a pair of extra disks to one of our internal servers (FreeBSD 6.1) to give us a share for our office. Our user authentication is all done by Active Directory Small Business Server 2000. I gave the job of getting Samba running an authenticated share to our Linux-fanboy network admin. He came back to me claiming the following reason why it can't be done (I assume the second word should be followed by not): Winbind is fully functional on FreeBSD so it doesn’t work authenticating with windows, ive tried compiling the Solaris version which is supposedly meant to work but I cant get it to compile. So now I was working on a public anonymous share but that doesn’t work cus FreeBSD says that account is not permitted access from that station. So I know give up, give me a proper linux server or light security 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 has seen a similar setup working. Is it really impossible to do what I want?

In a previous job I've had squid using winbindd to do user authentication against a native-mode Windows Server 2003 domain; I'd say it works pretty well. Due to it being a previous job I can't recall/lookup the exact procedure I went though to do it, but you just have to join the BSD machine to the domain. IIRC this used to be done with smbpasswd -J but I think they changed that to a new tool. /JMS ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
