After installation of the port (net/samba-devel) those modules were not installed, although I did not try the option you mentioned since it does not exist in the port Makefile v1.98 that I have. It does exist for=20 the net/samba 2.2.8 port. Originally when copying the modules by hand I was not able to resolve domain users or groups with the pw utility nor was I able to set user or group permissions on directories. The /var/log/debug.log file = contained several line like 'NSSWITCH(nss_method_lookup): winbind, group, = getgrent_r,=20 not found' and similar. Looking through some samba mailing list archives suggests that they did not implement nsswitch stuff for freebsd exactly correctly, but this has = been fixed in the CVS tree. After compiling the latest CVS as of yesterday afternoon and copying the nss modules over to /usr/lib I was able to set permissions for domain users and groups using chown and I am able to look at group information using the pw utility (pw group show DOMAIN+name. Trying to resolve users in this fashion results in 'pw: invalid character `+` at position 6 in userid/group name' I am still getting lots of the NSSWITCH errors in my debug.log, if that makes a difference. Today I am going to try to get some shares set up that work. I shared out a directory with permissions set to 1755 for my domain user and = group.=20 I was able to access the directory but I was not able to write to it. I've never really used samba for anything before and certainly not using ADS authentication and winbind, so please if I am just completely = missing the point somewhere let me know. -Will
