Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Stephanie... I will take you up on your offer. Can you send me the configs you use? 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.

I just wanted to sanity check that it is possible. I think he just doesn't want to work on our server because it isn't Linux :) Have you looked into "Windows Services for UNIX" from Microsoft ? http://www.microsoft.com/technet/interopmigration/unix/sfu/default.mspx I've tried version 2.0 while at another company and it was already pretty good. They're at version 3.5 now, so one could think it's better now.

We want folders in /var/share available to users in Active Directory, eg /var/share/ashleymoran for just me, and maybe a shared one for the office or the design team etc. Nothing complicated really.

Bob, I think that's done, judging by the output of "make config". Unfortunately all the feedback I've got is "Done that that's the easy bit, its all set up and it should be working just its returning invalid users all the time" which is not really precise enough to expect a response from the list :) I think I will have to look at this myself.

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?
